A South Wales NHS Trust is asking people to stick to appointment times for Coronavirus vaccinations.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board says its community vaccination centres are extremely busy.

In some sites, people are arriving three hours early for their appointment, which officials say can lead to unnecessary queues.

Patients are being asked to speak to volunteers or staff at community vaccination centres if they have additional support needs.

Responding to a query on Twitter, the NHS Trust added: 'Please let one of our volunteers or staff know of any additional support needs on arrival and they will be more than happy to help. You can also call our vaccine advice line ahead of your appointment on 01685 726464.'
