Next week Nova Scotia Health’s COVID-19 vaccine outreach clinics will be offering drop-in vaccines in Central, Eastern, Northern and Western zones to help support vaccine accessibility.

Please note: If you are 12 years and older and have completed your primary series and received a booster on or after September 19, 2022, you are not eligible for another dose at this time.

Children aged 5 to 11 who have completed their primary series and have already received a booster dose do not need to receive another at this time.

If this does not apply to you, or you have not yet completed your primary series, you are encouraged to book your next dose when eligible. Vaccine Outreach Clinics may offer the following vaccines. See listings for details.

• Pfizer Bivalent Vaccine - 12+
• Pfizer - Primary Series - 12+
