Snow could close vaccine centres tomorrow

With severe weather forecasted for the weekend, the county’s three vaccine centres could be closed.

It means that anyone booked for an appointment at a Mass Vaccination Centre in Powys (Bronllys Hospital, Royal Welsh Showground Builth Wells, Newtown Leisure Centre) on Saturday, their appointment will now be today.

The message was sent out last night by Powys Teaching Health Board but, strangely, local media were not informed.

The request is that you try to keep to the same time as you had tomorrow, but if that has already gone, try to make it there as soon as possible today, and no later than 8pm.

“If you do not see this message in time to come on Friday at all, please check back for a weather update to see if our mass vaccination centres are open on Saturday,” said a Powys Teaching Health Board spokesperson.

“We will contact people to arrange a new appointment as soon as possible.”

The alert is only for people who already have a booked appointment at the mass vaccination centres on Saturday.
