UPDATED: International Centre Clinic on Airport Road is a legitimate clinic. Peel Public Health was not informed of this clinic being located in the Peel Region.
News media claims the International Centre Clinic is legit. Peel Health not informed of clinic in its jurisdiction? Toronto friend sent to Brampton for test with 3-5 days wait for result. Now clinics are saying assume symptoms=Covid as testing facilities are overwhelmed. Chaos!

Mississauga Ward 5 City Councillor Carolyn Parrish took to social media first thing this morning to warn people that an ontariovaccines.ca website is offering non-existent appointments at the International Centre on Airport Rd.
“There is no clinic there today. Scammers just collecting your info for nefarious purposes. Such despicable people!” Parrish tweeted.

The bogus vaccination site is set up to look similar to the Ontario government booking portal. It offers what appear to be time slots for first, second and third doses.
The fake site also asks for people’s personal information.
The legitimate Ontario booking portal can be accessed at ontario.ca/bookvaccine.
The Region of Peel has set up a number of pop-up sites for people to get their vaccination shots.
