Workers at Sara Lee receiving the vaccine this week
March 4, 2021
Food processors and agriculture workers are now eligible for the COVID vaccines, and they’re already lining up at one area processor.
Workers at Sara Lee in Traverse City are getting their vaccinations all throughout the week. The Traverse Health Clinic is running the clinics on-site at the plant. And clinic workers and volunteers alike have been visiting early morning, afternoon, and evening shifts throughout the week.

Mi Stanley with Traverse Health Clinic says it’s important for these front-line food workers to get the vaccine as soon as possible. “A lot of the working folks like those here at Sara Lee, you know it’s challenging for them to get to appointments at an off-site location. So for us to be able to reach out directly to vulnerable patients and connect directly with employers of frontline essential workers, that’s a really satisfying experience for all of us at the Health Clinic.”
