Public Health providing COVID-19 and influenza immunization and COVID-19 testing

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

COVID-19 testing clinics provide on-site PCR testing and give out rapid test kits. Unless otherwise noted, drop-ins and booked appointments are welcome. If you’d like to book an appointment, visit www.nshealth.ca/coronavirustesting or call 1-833-797-7772.

Immunization clinics offer COVID-19, influenza, and high-dose flu vaccines for those aged 65 and over, unless otherwise noted. Please see specific details in the listings below. To book an appointment, visit novascotia.ca/vaccination or call 1-833-797-7772.
