As additional COVID-19 vaccines are received, Peel aims to administer 150,000 doses the week of May 10 to May 16.
This will be the Region’s biggest one-week total so far.
At this pace, projections suggest that the campaign will reach its target of 75 per cent first doses earlier than expected, while also accelerating Ontario’s goal of reaching 65 per cent first dose coverage by the end of May.
As part of the next phase, the Region of Peel is taking steps to provide even more opportunities for residents to get vaccinated by adding approximately 10,000 appointments per week for all residents 18 and older in Peel, extending hours at mass vaccination clinics, launching an additional 10 community workplace clinics, and expanding pharmacy and primary care offerings in the Region.
