Central Zone Public Health enhances summer access to publicly funded vaccines

July 2, 2025

Central Zone Public Health is making it easier to stay up to date on your vaccines. This summer, they are offering enhanced access to publicly funded (free) vaccines for anyone who is eligible. All routine vaccines will be available, as well as vaccines for people at higher risk for severe illness due to health conditions, age, living arrangements or other factors. 

All are welcome, however people who do not have a primary care provider will be given priority.

Call to book your appointment: 902-481-4956

• When booking, please mention which vaccine(s) you need and if you will need help getting to your appointment.

• All appointments will be held at the Central Zone Public Health Office at 7 Mellor Ave., Unit 5, Dartmouth (Google Maps).

• Please bring your health card with you to your appointment, if you have one.
