Powys Teaching Health Board(PTHB) says it has now delivered over 174,000 total doses through their COVID-19 vaccination programme, with 97% of people in the highest priority groups having received their first dose, and over three quarters of people in those groups (87%) have received received double-dose protection.

Nine in ten (91%) of the adult population in the county have received their first dose, and nearly two thirds (63%) have received double-dose protection.

On Sunday, June 13, the Welsh Government said all adults in Wales have now been offered the Coronavirus vaccine.

Data published by Public Health Wales on Sunday shows 2,213,050 people have been given a first vaccine dose; 70.2% of the population.

Welsh Government Health Minister and Mid-Wales MS Eluned Morgan said that Wales was leading the way with its vaccination programme.

"Wales is leading the world when it comes to the percentage of our population who have been vaccinated," said Baroness Morgan.

"However, we are not being complacent. I want to encourage younger adults to take up this offer of the vaccine and we don't want to see anyone left behind.

"We are keen to see 18 to 39-year-olds vaccinated and hope to reach our milestone of 75% take-up in this age group by the end of this month.

"Please take up your vaccine appointment; it offers protection to you, your loved ones and your communities and it is our best route out of the pandemic."
