That includes workers age 18 and over in:
- Schools (teachers, teacher assistants or support workers, school bus drivers, front-facing administrative workers, daytime janitors)
- Day homes and day cares
- Hotels
- Grocery stores
- Drugstores
- Banks
- Libraries
- Postal service
- Liquor stores

- Customer service agents at airports
- Media (reporters and camera crews)
Previously announced priority populations can also still book their vaccine appointments if they have not already.
