Jabs for young confirmed after new advice from committee of vaccine experts.
The JCVI said advice on when to offer the second dose will come later.
Plaid Cymru's health spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said he hoped ministers would "act quickly to roll out those vaccines", and said schools need to be made as "safe as possible" ahead of their reopening in September. Laura Doel, director of NAHT Cymru, said the headteaching union would "continue to urge ministers to ensure that alternative safety measures are put in place" in schools "such as better ventilation and a properly functioning test and trace system that takes into account how schools function".
Supplies have been purchased by the UK government, and distributed by the different NHS bodies in the four nations.
