DARTMOUTH, NS – Pharmacies in Nova Scotia celebrated a milestone today, as the 500,000th dose of a COVID-19 vaccine was administered at one of 295 pharmacy clinics across the province.
Pharmacies in Nova Scotia have played an integral role in Nova Scotia’s vaccine program by administering almost half of all the doses that have been delivered in the province.
Dartmouth, N.S. – Almost one in five Nova Scotians used pharmacies to obtain healthcare services since the COVID-19 Pandemic reached Nova Scotia almost one year ago.
