Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinic in Truro this weekend

The Public Health Mobile Unit will be offering a Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinic this weekend in Truro, in partnership with the Advisory Committee for Black Public Health.

Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinics give Black and African Nova Scotians a place to ask questions and receive vaccinations in a setting that feels familiar and respectful. While these are culturally competent clinics for Black and African Nova Scotians, all are welcome!
