The second round of COVID-19 vaccinations for those aged 60 to 74 will begin on Thursday. 

According to the state vaccine task force, around eight-point-two million people, including those in the age bracket of 60 to 74, will receive their second doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from Thursday. 

Those working at nursing homes, medical workers, flight attendants and first responders such as police officers and firefighters will also receive their second shots. Those under 50 will be given the Pfizer vaccine due to concerns over blood clotting associated with AstraZeneca. 

Meanwhile, vaccine reservations for those aged 18 to 49 are well under way. People with birth dates ending in the number one are able to make reservations until 6 p.m. Thursday. 

Birth dates ending with the number two can begin reservations from 8 p.m. Thursday to 6 p.m. Friday.
