Two hot-spot neighbourhoods in Windsor will be targeted with pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinics for residents age 18 and older on Monday, the local health unit has announced.
Adults who live in, or perform essential work in, the N9A and N9C postal codes Windsor’s downtown and west end will be eligible for the shot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at yet-to-be-disclosed locations. Attendees must provide proof of address, or work identification or a pay stub to qualify. The province has identified both areas as having been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and data from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit shows vaccine coverage rates there have so far been low.
