Bold claim: Everyone deserves easy, free access to routine vaccines—no primary care required. And this is how Public Health makes it happen across the Central Zone.
Public Health supports free, routine immunizations province-wide for people who don’t have a primary care provider or who face barriers in obtaining one. In the Central Zone, there are weekly clinics for childhood vaccines, and vaccines for all ages can be scheduled by appointment at the Public Health office in Burnside (7 Mellor Ave., Unit 5, Dartmouth).
Vaccines offered:
- Public Health administers all routine vaccines that Nova Scotia guidelines recommend.
To know when you or your child should receive each vaccine, consult the Routine Vaccine Schedule:
