Libraries offer free vax card assistance

by

Without Internet? No computer? No problem.

The Windsor Public Library offers staff at all city branches to help residents print copies of their immunization status. It’s free, including lamination of prints.

Those who also want that information in digital format can visit the Riverside branch, 6305 Wyandotte St. E.

In less than a week since it began silently offering the service, more than 1,000 library users have brought their vaccination receipts or accessed the provincial reserve portal to access their information at a branch of the city library and print it.

“We fully support the vaccine passport initiative and the positive impact it will have on reopening Ontario,” said Kitty Pope, executive director of the library. She said the Windsor Public Library realized that there was “a segment of Windsor’s population without internet access or computers,” and helping those people is the focus of the free service.
