A health board's last minute offer to give the coronavirus vaccine to people aged 18 and up has closed after overwhelming demand.
Swansea Bay University Health board announced the last minute drop-in sessions at around 5pm on Friday evening - allowing adults of all ages in the area to turn up at the Bay Field Hospital until 7.30pm and get their first jab.
However, less than an hour after announcing the offer, health bosses said all available places had been taken up.
The "first come first served" vaccinations were unexpectedly announced after "a large number of missed appointments" in recent days.
Last month fears were raised after one third of people failed to turn up for their vaccine appointments in one day in Wales.
In one day alone, out of 1,750 appointments, 492 did not attend their appointment at the mass vaccination centres in Swansea on Monday 29 March.
It prompted the health board to issue a statement saying: "The vaccination is safe, effective and one of the ways we will overcome this pandemic.
"We urge everyone invited to attend their appointment. If you can’t make it or don’t want the vaccine, please let us know."
