How to Book
Appointments for individuals aged 12 to 15 must be booked online using the Region of Peel’s booking system. If you need help booking, call the Region of Peel COVID-19 Vaccination Line at 905-791-5202, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week. As per Ministry guidance, appointments will be available at all seven Peel Public Health mass vaccination clinics, as well as the mobile school clinics and select pop-up clinics. Appointments will also be available to book at a William Osler Health System Vaccine Clinic in Peel.
Given the interest and demand to book appointments at our clinics, residents are encouraged to book as soon as possible. We ask for patience in booking as given the scale of this effort, there may be wait times to access the website or call centres. Generally, the fastest way to book an appointment is online, which provides real-time availability.
