Language barriers for Publix vaccine appointment site February 9, 2021 at 7:51 PM EST - Updated February 9 at 7:51 PM
The Publix portal to book an appointment for the COVID vaccine has received much criticism from Latino advocates who say the site hinders the ability to help non-English speaking older adults to book an appointment. It’s because there is no other language on the site to navigate them through the process.
WPTV spoke to an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala Tuesday, Olga, who expressed her frustration of getting an appointment for her father.
“Es triste. Él tiene 70 años y él no ha podido vacunarse.”

A migrant worker from Guatemala who tested positive for COVID-19 is on his way home for Christmas after weeks isolating in Windsor and Leamington hotel rooms as he recovered.
It will be his first trip home after two years in Canada.
The work is also raising concerns about the level of COVID-19 precautions he experienced working at AMCO Produce in Leamington. I didn t feel well. I was sad and I was nervous. I know people have died because of this and was praying to God that that wouldn t happen to me. My family was worried, the worker told the CBC in Spanish.
