"We are working on plans to open two additional vaccination centres in Ebbw Vale, which will be open on Thursday and Friday and Abergavenny, which will open over the weekend," said the statement.

"This week Ty Penallta will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday." The vaccination centres are appointment only and people will be contacted directly if they are being called for their appointment.

GP practices will begin to vaccinate over-80s from next week and have already helped in the vaccination of care homes residents.
