Public Health providing community-based immunization and testing

Public Health supports access to testing and immunization in Nova Scotia. To help ensure local access to these important services, Public Health will be holding clinics in communities across the province 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.
