Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinic in Cherry Brook

The Public Health Mobile Unit will be offering Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinics throughout the fall and winter respiratory season. These clinics are offered in partnership with the Advisory Committee for Black Public Health and are open to the public.

Black Health and Wellness Immunization Clinics give African Nova Scotian and Black families a place to ask questions and receive vaccinations in a setting that feels familiar and respectful. While these are culturally competent clinics for African Nova Scotian and Black communities, all are welcome!

The following clinic will be offered next week:

New Beginnings Ministries
26 Cherry Brook Rd., Cherry Brook
Tuesday, October 27 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
