Everyone over the age of 18 will have the chance to get vaccinated later this month at a drop-in clinic in Newport.
Any adult who hasn't yet received their first dose of the coronavirus jab will be able to drop in to the mass vaccination centre on Saturday, June 26.
Aneurin Bevan health board - which covers Newport, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire and Torfaen - has confirmed that anyone over the age of 18 will be able to receive their first Pfizer or AstraZeneca jab at the clinic without booking an appointment. There will also be a similar drop-in clinic running in Ebbw Vale on the same day.
"On Saturday, June 26, we will be holding walk-in vaccination clinics at our mass vaccination clinics at both Newport Centre and Ebbw Vale," a statement from the health board said.
"This walk-in clinic is for first doses only and is open to anyone aged 18 years and above as both Pfizer and AstraZeneca will be available. No appointment is necessary,however you will need to bring ID."
Both clinics will be open between 10am and 4pm.

Across Wales, latest figures show that 2,218,103 people have had a first dose of the Covid vaccine, and 1,410,924 have had both doses.
On Monday Health Minister Eluned Morgan confirmed that all over-18s have now been offered a Covid vaccine - six weeks ahead of schedule.
Public Health Wales (PHW) has now identified 315 cases of the Delta strain since it started spreading in Wales just a few weeks ago.
The NHS trust has confirmed that this variant is now the dominant strain of new cases of coronavirus in Wales, overtaking the Kent - or Alpha - variant which spread across the country over the winter period.
PHW said localised community transmission of the variant "is evident", with the majority of new cases not being connected to international travel.
Dr Giri Shankar, incident director for the coronavirus response, said: "This is a significant development, but one we have predicted, as we know the Delta variant is easier to catch than the previously dominant Alpha variant. It is thought that increased mixing is contributing to transmission and we are concerned at this rise in cases.
"There is much we can do to protect ourselves and others. Latest evidence shows that both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are effective against the Delta variant after two doses and so it's so important to take up the offer of both vaccines."
