Public Health providing community-based immunization and testing

Public Health supports access to COVID-19 and influenza immunization and testing across the province. Some clinics are also offering measles immunization. 

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. 

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. 

Clinics with immunization offer COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. Appointments may be booked, drop-in only, or a combination of both. Please see specific clinic details in the listings below. To book an appointment, visit novascotia.ca/vaccination or call 1-833-797-7772. 

Clinics with measles immunization are identified in the list below. Measles testing is not available at any clinics.
