- Date of last vaccination to care home resident in health board area
All care homes were visited by the vaccination teams by the end of December 2020, and all those residents who had been consented and were clinically able to have the Pfizer vaccine were vaccinated with their first dose. There will have been a very small number given their first vaccine after this date if they were only able to have the Astrazeneca vaccine, or if they were unwell in December, or if they moved into the care home after December before having their first dose.
