Almost 50,000 covid-19 vaccines have been administered across Wales.
Data released by Public Health Wales today shows that 49,428 people have been vaccinated up to the week ending January 3.
In the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) area, 5,884 people have been vaccinated.
25 people of those people received their second dose of the Pfizer BioNtech vaccine. This was before a decision was made to introduce a 12 gap between the two doses.
These figures will not include the numbers who have received the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine which was rolled out on Monday.
TEACHERS in Wales should be placed on the vaccination priority list, a group of Carmarthenshire councillors has said. They are asking the council’s executive board to formally consider their recommendation, and to lobby the Welsh Government. Members of the education and scrutiny committee agreed the move – proposed by Cllr Jean Lewis – after hearing about the challenges faced by teachers during the coronavirus pandemic. Her proposal was that teachers should be fifth on the UK-wide priority list behind residents in a care home for older adults and their carers, people aged 80 and over and frontline health and social care workers, people aged 75 and over, and those aged 70 years and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals.
