The province says people at highest risk of exposure to Monkeypox will soon be able to book a free pre-exposure vaccine appointment to help protect against the virus.
The Halifax Sexual Health Centre will host the first clinic and expects to have vaccine available as soon as the week of September 19th.
The vaccine will be given to people in the LGBTQ community.
More details on how and when people can book appointments will be available next week.
The Health Department says work is underway to establish more pre-exposure vaccination programs in other parts of the province.
