Peel has also opened the bookings for anyone 50 and over. Appointments can be made through the region’s website or by calling 905-791-5202.
Officials in Peel Region say they will start vaccinating people aged 50 and older on Monday, and will descend through the age ranges in five year increments each week.
They estimate that they will be able to give 65 per cent of the region’s total population their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by early June.
The Ontario government said earlier this week that people aged 60 and over were able to book their vaccine appointments in every region.
