Public Health Mobile Unit

Public Health Mobile Unit (PHMU) brings important health services to communities across the province. There are two streams of PHMU clinics, those offering COVID-19 and influenza testing and those offering COVID-19 and influenza immunization, alongside our partners on the Public Health outreach immunization team. Learn more about these services and find scheduled clinics.

PHMU COVID-19 and influenza testing clinics provide PCR testing, give out rapid test kits, and help people find answers to their questions about COVID-19. People are welcome to drop in to PHMU clinics with or without an appointment. You can book an appointment online, or call 1-833-797-7772.

Please complete the Report and Support form if you are booking a PCR test, waiting for your PCR results or have a positive COVID-19 rapid test. You can also complete the form by calling 1-833-797-7772.

COVID-19 and influenza immunization clinics offer COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. Appointments may be booked, drop-in only, or a combination of both. Please see specific location details for more information.
