!! Diweddariad ar Frechu Meningitis !!

Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn derbyn llawer o alwadau ynghylch Frechiadau Meningitis. Mae'r wybodaeth ganlynol wedi'i darparu i gefnogi cleifion i ddeall y canllawiau cyfredol yr ydym ni fel practis meddyg teulu yn eu dilyn.

• Cyflwynwyd brechlyn yn erbyn clefyd meningococcal grŵp B (Men B) yn y DU ym mis Medi 2015. Fe'i rhoddir yn 8 wythnos, 12 wythnos, ac 1 oed ar ganiatâd y rhiant / gwarcheidwad cyfreithiol

• Dim ond plant hyd at 2 oed sydd â thrwydded i dderbyn y brechlyn MenB.

• Ni ellir plant dros 2 oed derbyn MenB ar amserlen imiwneiddio'r GIG.

• Gellir cael brechiad MenB yn breifat trwy fferyllfeydd, fodd bynnag nid yw hyn yn rhywbeth y gallwn roi cyngor arno.

• Cynigir y brechlyn grŵp meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) fel arfer tua 14 oed, ac fel arfer darperir hyn yn yr ysgol.

• Gall unigolion a fethodd eu brechlyn MenACWY ei dderbyn hyd at eu pen-blwydd yn 25 oed drwy siarad â'r Nyrs yn y Ffedygfa.

Ar hyn o bryd, nid oes gennym unrhyw stoc ar gael i gynnig clinigau preifat ac mae holl stoc y GIG yn cael blaenoriaeth i'r rhai sy'n gymwys trwy'r canllawiau uchod.

Rydym hefty yn ymwybodol nad oes gan fferyllfeydd lleol yng Nghaerfyrddin a'r ardaloedd cyfagos stoc ar gael ar hyn o bryd, er bod rhai wedi dechrau gweithredu rhestrau aros.

Byddwn yn darparu diweddariadau pellach wrth i ganllawiau gael eu derbyn gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru neu Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda.

Diolch am eich dealltwriaeth.

!! Meningitis Vaccination Update !!

We are currently receiving high calls regarding Meningitis Vaccinations Enquiries, and the following information has been provided to support patients understand the current guidance we as a GP practice follow.
• A vaccine against meningococcal group B disease (Men B) was introduced in the UK in September 2015. It is given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year of age on the consent of the parent / legal guardian

• Children are only licensed to receive the MenB vaccine up to 2 years of age.

• Children over 2 years who have not received MenB cannot be caught up on the NHS immunisation schedule.

• MenB vaccination may be available privately via pharmacies, however this is not something we are able to advise on.

• The meningococcal group ACWY vaccine (MenACWY) is routinely offered at around 14 years of age, this in usually provided in school.

• Individuals who missed their MenACWY vaccine can still receive it up to their 25th birthday by speaking with the Practice Nurse.

At present, we do not have any stock available to offer private meningitis vaccination clinics and all NHS stock are prioritised for those eligible via the guidelines above.

We are also aware that local pharmacies in Carmarthen and surrounding areas currently have no stock available, although some have begun operating waiting lists.

We will provide further updates as guidance is received from Public Health Wales or Hywel Dda University Health Board.

Thank you for your understanding.
