People aged in their 40s will be next in line to get the coronavirus vaccine, Wales' chief medical officer has said.
The four UK nations are doing this, under the plan to vaccinate all adults by the end of July.
Dr Frank Atherton said the plan for Wales depends on "supply matching our ambition".
Teachers and police officers were among those who lobbied to be prioritised - but will now be vaccinated in line with their age group.
News of the next phase comes as Public Health Wales figures show more than 270,000 people aged in their 50s and 60s, have had their first dose of Covid vaccine.
All four of Wales' chief constables have criticised the decision not to prioritise frontline workers, saying they were "incredibly disappointed".
Head teachers' union NAHT Cymru said all front-line staff "should be protected now".

I have to say, as a person who currently is unable to be jabbed, to not treat teachers and ALL emergency services as priority cases is very poor form indeed shameful judgement imho.

Agree, mate. Some of the stories coming out about social degenerates threatening public employees to cough and spit at them in the hope they get Covid-19 are alarming...
The Government can help lessen those threats with a simple decision; give all public employees on the front-line the vaccine as a matter of priority
