Drop-in vaccine clinics being offered across Nova Scotia this week
Nova Scotia Health says COVID-19 vaccine outreach clinics will be offering drop-in vaccines across the province this week to help support vaccine accessibility.
Officials say the clinics are focused on providing first and second doses of vaccine to Nova Scotians who are not yet fully vaccinated. However, booster doses are available at some drop-in clinics.
Public health says people dropping in to receive their first or second dose of vaccine will be prioritized over people looking to receive their booster shot.
