GPs in Flintshire and on the Llŷn Peninsula and have vaccinated around 2,300 residents using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for the first time within the community as part of a pilot project.
Previously, the Pfizer vaccine could only be used in the mass vaccination centres due to the ultra-low temperatures it needs to be stored at.
Over the weekend, 1,100 in Buckley Medical Centre and 1,200 people received their vaccine at Tŷ Doctor in Nefyn.
Both surgeries worked in collaboration with other GP practices within their cluster to deliver the vaccine to priority patients within two days.
