People in that age group can book appointments at community clinics and participating pharmacy and primary care clinics that offer the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
N.S. Health says most community clinics and participating pharmacies have available appointments for this age group, with appointments continuously being added to new and existing clinics.
According to the province, there are about 76,000 eligible Nova Scotians in the 60-64 age group.
Some AstraZeneca vaccine appointments remain open for people who are 55 to 64 years old.
