Public Health providing COVID-19 and influenza immunization and testing in Nova Scotia

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. 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.
