A local GP has debunked a common myth about Covid vaccines for the British Islamic Medical Association.

Dr Qurratal-Ain Yousef, who works at Albert Road Surgery, has appeared in a video explaining why pregnant women and children were not included in the COVID vaccine clinical trials, and why that does not mean they are unsafe.

In the video, Dr Yousef says that pregnant women and children aren't usually included in initial trials, and that the guidance for pregnant women is to make a decision based on risk.

On Monday 14 December the Penarth surgery began rolling out the Oxford/AZ vaccine in the area to patients over 80.

Nearly 440,000 people in priority groups have been given their first doses of Covid-19 vaccines in Wales so far.

The aim is to have just under 750,000 people - including health workers and people aged over 70 - given a first dose by mid-February.
