"Don't you want the COVID vaccine?" Doucet called out in Spanish. "Why not, right?" she nudged gently. The man paused and approached the folding table set up within view of a cow peeking out of the barn.
"
Perfecto!" Doucet said with a warm smile.
The owner, who requested that the farm not be identified, also got a shot. He watched incredulously as his employee rolled up a sleeve. "He was totally against getting it," he said.
