Vaughan Gething: No Wales delay for UK coronavirus vaccine

Health minister Vaughan Gething has downplayed concerns Wales could fall behind in a future coronavirus vaccination programme. The UK government is responsible for arranging vaccines for the whole UK, but it will be up to Wales to decide how a vaccine programme would be rolled out, he said. Plaid MS Rhun ap Iorwerth said there was “growing optimism” a Covid-19 vaccine would be available in the near future, but asked Mr Gething if Wales’ policy was to “leave things largely to the UK government when it comes to vaccination”.
