Peel vaccine access now includes general-population flu appointments, but residents who cannot leave home face a different route: Peel Public Health says its homebound vaccination programme has concluded.

The region’s homebound-service page directs residents to ask other providers about availability. It does not give an end date for the programme or promise a replacement home visit.

Residents can ask their health-care provider whether it offers care at home. People already receiving Ontario Health atHome support should ask their current in-home provider about seasonal vaccination services. Those without that support can ask about services or self-refer through their provider or local Ontario Health atHome branch.

Community pharmacies may also offer flu and COVID-19 vaccination at home. Peel advises contacting the pharmacy to confirm; this is an option to investigate, not a guarantee of service.

Peel vaccine access at public-health clinics

For residents able to attend, Peel’s October 19 clinic announcement identifies 7120 Hurontario Street in Mississauga as the location of both clinics. General-population access began October 26.

The flu service page says public-health flu and COVID-19 clinics serve people aged six months and older. Appointments are required; there are no walk-ins. Book through the page’s online link or call 905-799-7700, toll-free 1-888-919-7800. An Ontario health card is not required.

For flu vaccination elsewhere, residents should check availability with their doctor, nurse practitioner or walk-in clinic. Participating pharmacies offer flu vaccination to adults and children aged two and older.

RSV products have different access routes

Peel’s RSV guidance makes an important distinction: eligible adults can book at public-health clinics, but the infant antibody product Beyfortus and the pregnancy vaccine Abrysvo are not offered there.

The adult programme covers everyone aged 75 and older and adults aged 60 to 74 who meet higher-risk criteria. Residents should check the linked eligibility guidance with their provider.

Families seeking Beyfortus, or pregnant residents asking about Abrysvo, are directed to their primary-care provider. These separate routes mean the general clinic announcement should not be read as offering every RSV product to everyone aged six months and older.
