COVID-19 vaccine reservations for the general public aged 18 to 49 will open at 8 p.m. Monday.

The state vaccine task force said that eligible people will be divided into ten groups according to their birthdate and can only make reservations on the day that shares the last digit of their birthdate.

For example, people in the age group born on 9, 19 and 29 may make appointments from 8 p.m. on Monday, August 9 to 6 p.m. the following day.

About 16-point-two million eligible people in this group may make reservations online via the task force website (https://ncvr.kdca.go.kr) after verifying their identities.

Anyone in the group who missed the given period may make reservations from 8 p.m. on August 21.
