A COVID-19 vaccination centre will open in Abergavenny this weekend.

The Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has so far vaccinated more than 15,000 people across Gwent.

All residents from 34 out of 94 care homes for older adults and all care home staff from 63 of the 94 care homes for older adults across Gwent. They have vaccinated more than 3,000 over-80s and over 5,000 frontline staff.

The health board confirmed there are plans to open two additional vaccination centres in Ebbw Vale, which will be open on Thursday and Friday and Abergavenny, which will open over the weekend.

All vaccination centres are appointment only and people will be contacted if they are being called for their appointment.
