Brampton, ON (Dec. 3, 2021) – To further support Peel's pediatric vaccination efforts, Peel Public Health will add tens of thousands of additional appointments to its existing pediatric vaccination booking system.

More than 1,000 additional appointments will also be made available in school-based clinics over the next two weeks.
Residents must use the Ontario's vaccine booking system to book their appointments.
Please note that walk-ins for children 5 to 11 years old will not be available.
Every clinic will be able to administer vaccines to children 5 to 11 years old, and consideration will be given to ensure the clinic environment makes children and families feel safe and comfortable.
