Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project helps protect essential workers from COVID-19
OXNARD, Calif. - Farmworkers with Good Farms in Oxnard were among the first to take part in the Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project.
113 of the essential workers lined up to get an extra layer of protection against COVID.
“There is a great opportunity for us because we work closely with about 10 other people daily, so for all of us to be vaccinated is a great benefit,” said farmworker Edgar Bautista.
Farmworkers are not yet eligible for vaccines based on the state s distribution phases, but public health leaders say getting at least some of them vaccinated is critical.
