The COVID-19 and influenza immunization program is pausing briefly as we prepare for the fall respiratory immunization program. More information on fall appointment availability will be shared on this page closer to the start of the program.
Seasonal vaccines help protect against respiratory illnesses that can cause symptoms like coughing, sore throats, nasal and chest congestion. Illnesses like influenza and COVID-19 can lead to serious complications for some people, especially those with weakened immune systems.
We invite everyone in Nova Scotia who is eligible to get free COVID-19 and influenza vaccines when they are available to protect yourself, your family and your community from these common respiratory illnesses. These vaccines are safe and effective for most people aged 6 months and older.

Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system has rolled out at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program services.
During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.
You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
