From today, the RSV vaccine is being offered to more people, with the programme expanding to include some adults aged 65–74 with certain health conditions who are at higher risk from RSV. 📢

Visiting an open farm this Bank Holiday weekend? 🐑

As cute as they may be, avoid cuddling or holding lambs, as this hugely increases the risk of germs spreading 🦠

If you’re touching or feeding animals, make sure you wash your hands with warm water and soap afterwards 🧼

Germs like Cryptosporidium are common around farms and can spread illness quickly, but good handwashing will help protect you and your little ones.

Between student loans, shopping lists and moving day, it's easy to overlook vaccinations.

👉 If you're a parent or carer of someone heading off to further education, remind them to get both doses of the MenB vaccine before they leave.
It could be one of the most important things they tick off before term starts. ✅

Three-year-old Clover had a very important visit to Barry Hospital this week - getting her hepatitis A vaccine.

Luckily, there were a few familiar faces to make the experience a little more fun! Clover got to meet Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, while Bluey was playing in the background.

Children aged 1 to 5 who live in Barry, or attend a childcare or education setting in Barry, can get a free hepatitis A vaccination without booking an appointment.

Simply turn up at Barry Hospital (CF62 8YH). Clinics are open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and Saturdays until Saturday, September 5.

Da iawn, Clover! 👏 👏 👏
