For greater convenience in booking for our residents (and to have a little fun!), the Region of Peel will be running a ‘Doses After Dark’ 32-hour marathon clinic at the International Centre in Mississauga this weekend. The clinic will run from 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 15 around the clock to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 16.  

This will be like no other Peel clinic held so far.  We want to celebrate the amazing progress of the vaccine rollout in our region to date by vaccinating more people in a 32-hour period than has been done before.  In the span of 32 hours, more than 7,600 doses will be given, including over 5,000 delivered during the overnight hours. This will be the most vaccines administered at a single clinic since the start of our campaign.  

Peel residents will be able to book appointments starting Tuesday, May 11 for ‘Doses After Dark’ – anyone over 18 can help crush COVID by filling these spots in our community effort to push us closer to our goal of 75% first doses.   

What to watch for: 

Joining us under the stars? We have some fun surprises and giveaways planned to make sure that everyone coming to the clinic this weekend has a great experience.
