Thanks very much for providing these phone numbers.
I just got off the phone with staff here. Whomever is claiming that you
must get a certificate specifically from the link shared, and that copies
of your receipt from your pharmacist will no longer be accepted, is
incorrect.
I had seen media information stating that the pharmacist issued paper
copies would still be fine as well, making the claim otherwise rather a
concern due to Ontario.ca's established lack of accessibility.
so, if you have copies from your pharmacists, there is no need to do
anything else to establish proof.
as for the issues with Linux accessibility in general. Speaking
personally? A much better goal would be raising the profile of Linux as a
platform widely used by the public, so that accessibility related surveys
and tests will count those who choose Linux over other things.
For example while a11yproject information suggests that true inclusive
design creates doors that work both with and without JavaScript, webaim
who circulates a survey about platforms and adaptive technology use
intentionally does not ask about Linux. there stance is that too few
people actually use Linux to be counted, which given a shared label does
not a shared experience make, leads to problems like the government of
Ontario site.
yes Linux accessibility is dreadful, but so is its public image.
Best,
Karen

The only accessibility concession I saw was a phone line:
- call the Provincial Vaccine Information Line at 1-888-999-6488 (TTY
for people who are deaf, hearing-impaired or speech-impaired:
1-866-797-0007)
+ information is available in more than 300 languages
+ this line is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week
+ you may have to wait for an agent when call volumes are high
There is an Accessibility link that looks useless:
<https://www.ontario.ca/page/accessibility>

Yeah. That should be fixed. By whom? All of us, I guess.
