The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and local non-profits launched a pilot program that gives the COVID-19 vaccine to farm workers.
The pilot program was the first tri-lingual and tri-cultural clinic Santa Barbara County Public Health has put on.
Online applications and emails have created a virtual barrier for some and public health says they are looking to bridge that digital gap through the program.
Rebeca Ortiz was one of several interpreters working at the clinic to help with the translation of Spanish, English, and the indigenous language of Mixteco.
