Nova Scotians can now book free seasonal flu shots online, by phone, or at pharmacies. Flu shot appointments became available Monday afternoon, while COVID-19 vaccine bookings are expected soon, though no date has been confirmed by Nova Scotia Health. Appointments can be made through an online portal, by calling 1-833-797-7772, or by visiting the Public Health Mobile Unit website to find drop-in clinics. Some clinics accept walk-ins, while others require appointments. Those with a primary care physician can also schedule their flu shot directly through their doctor. Two types of flu vaccines are available: one for individuals aged 64 and younger, and a high-dose vaccine for those 65 and older that offers enhanced protection. This year, families can book flu shots for up to six people in one appointment, a new feature introduced by Nova Scotia Health.
