Nova Scotia is offering drive-thru COVID-19 and flu vaccines at Dartmouth General Hospital, but it’s unclear whether New Brunswick has any plans to provide a similar service.
The Nova Scotia health authority says up to four people inside a vehicle can be vaccinated during a single appointment. They must all be over the age of 12.
One person can make the appointment for all four people. The drive-thru operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Harold Taylor, Nova Scotia Health’s director of the central zone’s COVID-19 response, said the vaccination drive-thru has been “very well received,” with appointments booking up since it was announced earlier this week.
People are “very happy to see … this service,” he said.
