Public Health providing community-based immunization and testing

Public Health supports access to COVID-19 and influenza testing, as well as influenza and measles immunization across the province.

To help ensure all Nova Scotians have access to these important services, we will be holding testing and immunization clinics next week. All upcoming clinics can be found online at www.nshealth.ca/PHMU.

Clinics with testing will give out COVID-19 rapid test kits. There will be no appointments. If you’d like to book an appointment for PCR testing or to pick up rapid tests at a COVID-19 and flu testing location, visit www.nshealth.ca/coronavirustesting or call 1-833-797-7772. Measles testing is not available.

Clinics with immunization offer measles and tetanus vaccines. Appointments are drop-in only. Please see specific clinic details in the listings below.
