     "Dwi'n meddwl bod rhaid i ni fod yn realistig - mae yna elfennau, ar hyn o bryd, sy'n bodoli efo'r hyblyn - er enghraifft, sicrhau fod pobl yn cael eu goruchwylio ar ôl ei chael hi," ychwanegodd.

     "I think that we have to be realistic - there are issues, at the moment, that exist with the booster - for example, ensuring that people are supervised after having it," he added.
