The latest swine flu report is now available for viewing.
Comment from the Chief Medical Officer for Wales, Dr Tony Jewell:
"Our programme of vaccinating young children against swine flu is well under way.
"Vaccination remains the best protection for young children against the virus. The vaccine will continue to provide immunity for several years during which time the H1N1 virus is likely to still be circulating. Millions of doses have been given to young children across Europe and worldwide and it has been shown to be safe and effective
"The Welsh Assembly Government has produced a leaflet about vaccinating children against swine flu, and the vaccine your child will be given. You can read it on the Government website www.wales.gov.uk or ask your GP for a copy."
