Ontario opens new mass vaccination clinic in Peel Region

Ontario says it is opening a new mass vaccination clinic at the International Centre in Mississauga.

This comes as Ontario reported its largest single-day COVID-19 case increase. 

The province says starting today (Dec. 23), the new mass vaccination clinic will administer boosters to individuals aged 18 and over, as well as first and second doses to individuals aged five and over. 

The clinic is operated in partnership with Switch Health. 

“Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Team Ontario and mass vaccination clinics like the one at the International Centre in Mississauga, we are getting more shots into arms every day,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health in a statement. “Whether you need your first, second or booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Team Ontario will be here to help. Please get vaccinated as soon as you can.”

Ontario says the clinic will be open seven days a week and Ontarians can book an appointment through Ontario’s booking portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.

It says the clinic is working on ramping up to its full capacity of approximately 19,000 vaccinations per day. On Dec 22, Ontario administered over 253,000 COVID-19 vaccines in a single day.
