Flu vaccine bookings open Monday in Nova Scotia
Nova Scotians will be able to book appointments for the influenza vaccines starting Monday afternoon.
The Nova Scotia Health website says people can book their vaccine appointments through their physician or primary care provider, online or by calling 1-833-797-7772.
Nova Scotia Health says COVID-19 vaccines will be announced soon.
Jamie Flynn, pharmacist and owner of the Medicine Shoppe, said he expects to receive his flu vaccines by the start of next week and the COVID-19 vaccines at the end of next week.
Last week, Health Minister Michelle Thompson said the provincial government was waiting to receive vaccine approvals from Health Canada before making them widely available.
