Public Health providing community-based immunization and testing in Nova Scotia
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 provide on-site PCR testing for COVID-19 and influenza and/or give out COVID-19 rapid test kits. Measles testing is not available at any clinics. Unless otherwise noted, drop-ins and booked appointments are welcome. If you’d like to book a testing appointment, visit www.nshealth.ca/coronavirustesting or call 1-833-797-7772.
Clinics with immunization offer COVID-19 and measles vaccines, and some offer tetanus vaccines. Appointments may be booked, drop-in only, or a combination of both. Please see specific clinic details in the listings below. To book an appointment, visit novascotia.ca/vaccination or call 1-833-797-7772.
