For example, if the last digit of your date of birth (YYYY/MM/DD) is "9," you will make your reservation on August 9.

** You can visit the official website (http://ncvr.kdaca.go.kr) to book an appointment for vaccination, which involves a simple online self-authentication process (i.e. You are required to make your own online reservation as no one can do it for you; and only one digital device is allowed to be used per person for reservation).

*** Reservation can be made via call centers run by municipal governments. However, it is advisable to make the reservation through someone who can speak Korean as interpretation service is not available.
