Drop-in vaccination appointments
Get weekly health news
All of Nova Scotia’s community vaccine clinics are offering drop-in appointments this week to encourage Nova Scotians who are not yet fully vaccinated to get either their first or second dose.
Many locations also offer booked appointments, said the province.
The clinics will be providing Pfizer vaccine, which is available to anyone 12 years of age or older. The Dartmouth General drive-thru location will also offer Moderna vaccine for people who are 18 and over as of Aug. 11.
The province said that most of the community clinics will remain open until Friday, Aug. 13. After that date, these large-scale community vaccine clinics will close, with the exception of the IWK Community Vaccine Clinic, and the Dartmouth General drive-thru vaccine clinic.
“Anyone who has a second-dose appointment booked after Aug. 13 at any of the community vaccine clinics scheduled to close by that date need to move up their appointment or reschedule into a pharmacy clinic,” the province said in a release.
Any appointments that are not moved up or rescheduled will be canceled by the province.
As of Tuesday, 67.1 per cent of all Nova Scotians have received two doses of vaccine; 76.7 per cent have received at least one dose.
