When Amanda Henderson Jones got the email that her university would be offering COVID-19 vaccines on campus across the border in Detroit, she knew getting one would be the quickest way to ensure she could re-join in-person classes come September.
She’s a law student at the University of Windsor’s Canadian & American Dual J.D. Program, where several of the classes are taught at the University of Detroit Mercy.
“We were hoping that if we got the vaccine, we’d be able to return to campus,” she told Daily Hive. “We figured it’s best to get it.”
After clarifying with the university that Canadian students were included in the eligibility, Henderson Jones renewed her student visa and got in a friend’s car to drive 20 minutes across the border to the campus clinic.
