Halifax drive-thru clinic aims to make immigrants 'feel safe' getting vaccine

WNews Banner

A unique Halifax drive-thru Saturday saw hundreds of people agree to be vaccinated for COVID-19, although not always in English.

The Ummah Masjid mosque off Chebucto Road hosted the clinic throughout the day in partnership with the provincial health authority and a local pharmacy.

People walked, drove, and even took their bicycles through the clinic, and were usually done in a few minutes.

Anyone could book an appointment, but the event was especially aimed at immigrants, or those within the community who might not speak English.

More than 500 people were booked to come through the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Ummah
