Public Health Mobile Unit

Public Health Mobile Unit (PHMU) provides Public Health services in communities across the province. The program is made up of healthcare vans and people working together with community to support healthcare delivery. Our people include Public Health Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Secretaries, Drivers, Health Promoters, Health Support Aides and leaders who collaborate and deliver community clinics.

Public Health Mobile Unit clinics offer COVID-19 and influenza vaccines and tests for those who are eligible. Some clinics may also offer pneumococcal vaccines. Appointments may be booked-only, drop-in only, or a combination of both.

Clinics will be added to this site as they are booked. Check back frequently for updates.
