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.

The interval between the first and second doses is 56 days. People can receive their booster dose at least 24 weeks or 168 days after their receive their second dose of their primary series.
