People unable to book an appointment online should call 1-888-999-6488, starting Thursday morning.
Many had already been able to book, owing to the hot-spot status and consistently high number of cases in the region.
“The reality is that we couldn’t wait any longer to make that vaccine available to every adult in Peel. Peel Region has been a hot spot for a very long time. In fact, we’ve been on fire,” Crombie said Wednesday at a news conference.

Peel Region is taking a massive step in its vaccination efforts.
Peel Public Health will begin accepting vaccine appointments across all 11 mass immunization clinics for residents aged 18 to 49, regardless of postal code, as of 8:00 a.m. on Thursday.
The expansion, a significant one considering Peel Region’s high daily COVID-19 rates, opens eligibility for 50,000 residents who do not live in hotspots and have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated and makes all Peel residents who are 18 years or older eligible for a shot.

It’s a perfect day to shoot some hoops.
But at this park in Mississauga, not only is there a sign saying the court is closed, there are also two pieces of wood blocking the basketball nets.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
