Farmworker vaccinations expand with new clinics in California
Farmworkers get information about Corona-19 vaccines at one of the clinics co-sponsored by the California Strawberry Commission. COVID-19 vaccines are now widely available to strawberry farmworkers and other essential workers throughout California.
The California Strawberry Commission recently co-sponsored eight vaccine clinics that vaccinated more than 5,000 farmworkers in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Last month, the strawberry commission began working with Dignity Health Dominican Hospital and the local, Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau to co-sponsor the first large-scale vaccination clinic for farmworkers on the Central Coast.
