Nova Scotia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to expand this week with clinics at two more long-term care facilities and another regional hospital.
Health officials provided an update on the program today, Jan. 19, that also included plans for additional vaccine storage locations and new community clinics.
“We know that Nova Scotians are eager to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and our health-care system is working as quickly as possible to make that happen,” said Premier Stephen McNeil. “In an effort to vaccinate those at highest risk, and those who are critical to the health-care response in our province, we will target our efforts where they will have the greatest impact until our vaccine supply increases.”

The province is reporting two new cases of COVID-19 today with a total of 32 active cases.
One case is in the Northern Zone and the other is in the Central Zone.
Both cases are close contacts of previously reported cases.
During a briefing this afternoon, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang told reporters he’s concerned after hearing about people not being truthful when speaking with public health investigators who are trying to trace the transmission of COVID-19.
Strang also said today residents of two Cape Breton long-term care homes will be getting COVID-19 vaccinations next week.
The vaccinations will be given at the Harbourside Enhanced Care Home in Sydney and the Northside Community Guest Home.
