YouGov_logo MAE SWYDDOGION iechyd blaenllaw yng Nghymru wedi gwneud galwad frys ar rieni plant dwy, tair a phedair oed i drefnu fod eu plant yn cael eu brechu rhag ffl iw, gan mai un o bob pump yn unig o’r rhai sy’n gymwys sydd wedi cael eu brechu hyd yn hyn. Mae rhai rhieni’n credu nad yw ffl iw yn cael effaith ddifrifol ar eu plant. Fodd bynnag, mae ffi gyrau a gasglwyd gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn dangos, y llynedd, y cafodd cymaint o blant ag o oedolion eu derbyn i’r ysbyty ac unedau gofal dwys.

Cafodd cyfanswm o 42 o blant dan 15 oed eu derbyn i’r ysbyty yng Nghymru dros y gaeaf y llynedd, ac roedd chwech ohonynt wedi gorfod cael gofal dwys. Ar gyfer unigolion 15 oed a throsodd cafodd 42 eu derbyn ac roedd angen gofal dwys ar chwech ohonynt. Dros y gaeaf y llynedd lefelau isel yn unig o ffl iw fu’n cylchredeg yn y gymuned. Mae rhaglen imiwneiddio rhag ffl iw eleni yn cynnig chwistrell trwyn syml i ddiogelu plant ifanc ond nid yw ond yn effeithiol cyn i’r salwch daro. Mae’r brechlyn rhad ac am ddim ar gael gan eich meddyg teulu ar hyn o bryd, ond mae dyddiad dod i ben yr holl stoc ar ddechrau Ionawr – sy’n golygu fod amser yn mynd yn brin i ddiogelu eich plentyn.

Yn ôl yr ystadegau diweddaraf, dim ond un o bob pump o’r 97,655 plentyn dwy, tair a phedair oed sy’n gymwys gafodd eu himiwneiddio hyd yn hyn yng Nghymru – cwta 22%.* Mae Dr Zed Sibanda, paediatregydd ymgynghorol yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg yn esbonio pam mae hyn yn bryder: “Bydd y brechlyn ffl iw chwistrell trwyn ar gyfer plant dwy i bedair oed yn dechrau dod i ben ynghanol Rhagfyr, felly dylai rhieni sydd heb drefnu i’w plant gael eu brechu eto weithredu yn syth.

Mae plant dwy, tair a phedair oed yn wynebu risg arbennig o ddatblygu cymhlethdodau difrifol ffl iw am nifer o resymau. Un ohonynt yw nad yw eu systemau imiwnedd wedi datblygu’n llawn eto, sy’n golygu na allant ymladd ffl iw cystal â phlant hŷn ac oedolion.” I’r rhan fwyaf o blant iach, mae ffl iw fel arfer yn golygu ychydig ddyddiau difl as gartref yn y gwely, ond dylai rhieni gofi o y gall ffl iw arwain weithiau at gymhlethdodau difrifol, yn enwedig felly i blant ifanc neu bobl a chanddynt broblemau iechyd hirdymor, fel asthma, ac i grwpiau felly gall beryglu eu bywydau.

Fel yr esbonia Dr Sibanda: “Nid yw plant ifanc yn gallu deall ac esbonio os ydynt yn dechrau cael symptomau tebyg i ffl iw – sy’n golygu efallai na wneir diagnosis ffl iw tan yn gymharol hwyr o gymharu ag oedolyn fyddai’n gallu asesu eu hiechyd eu hunain yn rhwyddach. “Golyga hynny fod y plentyn yn fwy tebygol o ddatblygu cymhlethdodau posib ac o ddioddef yn ddiangen. Ond gellir rhwystro hyn oll trwy un daith syml at y meddyg teulu i gael y brechiad chwistrell trwyn.”

Mae Dr Richard Roberts, Pennaeth Rhaglen Heintiau y Gellir eu Hatal trwy Frechlyn yn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, hefyd yn annog pob rhiant i fynd â’u plant dwy i bedair oed at y meddyg teulu cyn gynted â phosib: “Cynigir y brechiad ar ffurf chwistrell trwyn ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o blant, sy’n golygu nad oes unrhyw bigiadau. Mae’n gyfl ym, syml ac yn gwbl ddi boen: “Hyd yn oed os yw trwyn plentyn yn rhedeg neu os yw’n tisian yn syth ar ôl cael y chwistrell, fe fyddant wedi’u diogelu o hyd.”

Hon yw’r fl wyddyn gyntaf i blant pedair oed gael eu cynnwys yn yr ymgyrch brechu rhag ffl iw dymhorol rad ac am ddim, wedi i blant dwy a thair oed gael eu cyfl wyno y llynedd. Mae hyn yn rhan o raglen fl ynyddol, a’r disgwyl ar ôl ei chyfl wyno’n llawn yw y bydd pob plentyn dwy i un ar bymtheg oed yn cael cynnig y brechlyn bob hydref. Mae hyn ar ben y grwpiau cymwys eraill fel pobl 65 oed a throsodd, pobl mewn grwpiau ‘risg’ o chwe mis ymlaen a chanddynt gyfl yrau iechyd hirdymor, a phob menyw feichiog.

Bob blwyddyn mae’r brechlyn rhag ffl iw yn cael ei newid er mwyn ymateb i unrhyw fathau newydd o’r fi rws ffl iw sy’n cylchredeg. Caiff fi rws y ffl iw ei wasgaru trwy ddiferion sy’n cael eu chwistrellu i’r awyr pan mae person sydd wedi’i heintio yn pesychu neu’n tisian. Mae cyswllt uniongyrchol â dwylo neu arwynebau a heintiwyd hefyd yn gallu gwasgaru’r haint. Gall ledu’n gyfl ym iawn, yn enwedig felly mewn cymunedau caeedig fel ysbytai, cartrefi preswyl ac, wrth gwrs, grwpiau chwarae.

Mae’r rhaglen brechiadau ffl iw fl ynyddol yn ceisio sicrhau bod pawb sydd ei angen yn cael amddiffyniad am ddim bob blwyddyn rhag y ffl iw. Y rheswm yw diogelu unigolion bregus a phobl sy’n wynebu’r risg mwyaf o ddioddef cymhlethdodau difrifol ffl iw. Bob blwyddyn, mae’r pigiad ffl iw ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim i’r grwpiau hyn trwy feddygon teulu a rhai fferyllfeydd cymunedol, ac mae’r rhan fwyaf o blant cymwys yn cael brechlyn chwistrell trwyn gan eu meddyg teulu neu yn yr ysgol os ydynt ym mlwyddyn 7.

Expanded Rali Ceredigion event to bring elite rally drivers, historic cars and millions for the local economy

THE ROAR of rally engines will return to Mid Wales this autumn as the JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion makes its much-anticipated comeback from Friday, September 4 to Sunday, September 6.

Now firmly established as one of the biggest events on the UK motorsport calendar, the rally will once again bring world-class competition to the roads of Ceredigion and Powys, with drivers competing across three major championships.

The event will host rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship, the British Rally Championship and the European Historic Rally Championship, the latter making its first appearance at the Welsh event.

Organisers say the addition of historic rally cars will add a new attraction for spectators, with iconic vehicles from previous generations expected to take part alongside today’s top competitors.

Expanded programme planned

Building on the success of previous years, the 2026 event will begin with a ceremonial start and rally showcase on Aberystwyth promenade on Thursday evening (Sept 3), before competitive stages get underway across Mid Wales throughout the weekend.

The rally has grown into a major tourism and economic boost for the region, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and putting local communities, businesses and landscapes in front of an international audience.

Figures from last year’s event showed a total economic impact of £11.6 million, including an estimated £5.59 million in direct spending, with businesses across the region reporting increased visitor numbers, overnight stays and higher spending.

Council backs return of event

The Leader of Ceredigion County Council, Cllr Bryan Davies said: “We’re proud to welcome Rali Ceredigion back to the county for 2026. The event continues to grow year on year, bringing significant benefits to our communities, local businesses and the wider economy.

“With an expanded programme and the addition of the European Historic Rally Championship, this year’s event promises to attract even more visitors to the region.

“As a council, our focus is on working closely with organisers and partners to ensure residents are well informed and that the event is delivered safely and successfully for everyone.”

Organisers are working alongside Ceredigion County Council, Powys County Council and emergency services to ensure the event is delivered safely, with details of road closures, timings and routes expected to be released in the coming months.

Historic rally cars to join line-up

Rali Ceredigion Director Charlie Jukes said organisers were excited to expand the event once again.

He said: “The addition of the European Historic Rally Championship is a fantastic development, adding even more variety and appeal for fans, with a wider range of iconic rally cars expected to take part.

“Rali Ceredigion continues to grow in scale and reputation and we’re proud to work alongside local authorities, partners and communities to deliver an event that showcases the very best of the region and generates a significant positive impact.”

Residents and businesses are being encouraged to plan ahead, with community engagement activity expected to begin before the summer.

Vikings make history with cup final win

HAKIN UNITED have made Pembrokeshire football history after retaining the West Wales Intermediate Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Penlan at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Ashley Bevan’s first-half goal proved decisive on Thursday evening as Scott Davies’ side became the first Pembrokeshire team to win the competition in back-to-back seasons.

It was another memorable night for the Vikings, who have now reached three finals in four years and added the cup to their league success to complete an outstanding double.

Penlan began strongly, with Kyle Hughes seeing a deflected effort drift narrowly wide before Kieran Jenkins curled a shot into the arms of Hakin goalkeeper Rory Williams.

Williams was called into action again after a defensive mistake allowed Jenkins a sight of goal, while at the other end Jack Britton was unable to generate enough power on a header inside the area.

Hakin grew into the contest, with Camron Thomas and Bevan both seeing efforts blocked following a half-cleared corner.

Williams then produced one of the key moments of the match, racing from his area to make a perfectly-timed sliding challenge as Penlan threatened to break through.

Ben Aldred went close with a rising 25-yard strike which flew over the bar, before the game became increasingly scrappy, with Britton and Jordan Kilby both booked for late challenges.

The breakthrough came in the 34th minute. Shane Walsh made ground down the left and squared the ball across the area for Bevan, who slid in to finish and give Hakin a 1-0 half-time lead.

There was a brief delay after the interval while the stadium lights were switched on, before Penlan pushed for an equaliser.

Dylyn Perkins had a shot blocked by Britton, while Bevan remained a constant threat for Hakin and later fired over after Kieran King’s cross was only partly cleared.

Hakin suffered a blow when Aldred landed awkwardly after clearing a dangerous Perkins free-kick and was forced off. Craig Nicholson came on and slotted into a solid defensive line alongside Jay Power, King and the impressive Camron Thomas.

Penlan defender Jack Jenkins was booked for bringing down Bevan from behind, while Hakin substitute Liam Parks almost added a second when he latched onto a through ball over goalkeeper Luke Davies, only to lose his footing at the vital moment.

Parks later cut the ball back for Mason Dolling, whose low effort flashed just wide.

Penlan’s hopes suffered a late setback when substitute Anthony Finselbach was shown a straight red card by referee Ben Williams for a challenge on Matthew Broome.

At the final whistle, Hakin’s players and supporters celebrated a famous victory.

The Vikings have now won the West Wales Intermediate Cup five times and sit third on the all-time winners’ list, behind West End and Ragged School, who have lifted the trophy seven times each.

Penlan: Luke Davies, Jenson Lorey, Corey Young (Jaye Tebay 89), Liam Logan (captain), Jack Jenkins, Jamie James, Kyle Hughes, Navan Green (Anthony Finselbach 76), Thomas Davies, Kieran Jenkins, Dylan Perkins (Jayden Blackmore 76).

Substitutes not used: Robert Shannon, Kian Finselbach.

Hakin United: Rory Williams, Kieran King, Camron Thomas, Ben Aldred (Craig Nicholson 70), Jay Power, Jack Britton, Cameron Brunton (Mason Dolling 59), Jordan Kilby (Mark Jones 90), Ashley Bevan (Liam Parks 74), Ryan Wilson (captain), Shane Walsh (Matthew Broome 83).

Referee: Ben Williams.

Assistants: Cilan Thomas and Nick Pryor.

Fourth official: Kevin Price.
