Starting March 19, seniors 80 years and older will be able to book vaccine appointments at any of the six Region of Peel-run community clinics located across Peel. This means that this group of eligible residents will have more appointment options available to them in addition to hospital-run clinics and will be able to get the vaccine sooner.
How to book an appointment at the Region’s community clinics
Any resident of Peel (including Brampton, Mississauga, and Caledon) born in 1941 or earlier, can book at:
• Community clinics – Book an appointment using the provincial booking system starting March 19. Appointments will be available in the system for times starting March 20.
Information on how to prepare for an appointment and what to expect at the clinic is available at www.peelregion.ca/coronavirus/vaccine/book-appointment
Seniors who have challenges getting to and from the vaccine clinics can use TransHelp by calling 905-791-1015 to book a ride at least 48 hours before their vaccine appointment. Residents don’t need to be a TransHelp client to use this service.
High-priority population groups also continue to access vaccine

Dr. Lawrence Loh, Medical Officer of Health: “We are excited to offer more vaccine appointments for Peel seniors 80 years and over at our community clinics. With this addition, eligible residents will be able to get the vaccine sooner at a clinic of their preference.”
