FRESNO, Calif. Hundreds of hard-to-come-by COVID-19 vaccines were administered on Thursday to farmworkers on the west side of Central California.
Several ag companies collaborated with Fresno County and the non-profit Valley Health Team to secure 800 doses for frontline workers.
On Thursday morning, they rolled up their sleeves to get their first shot at a drive-thru clinic in Firebaugh.
The line moved at a steady pace since 8:30 in the morning.
A few quick forms, and then the shot so many had been hoping for. It s just going to work every day and knowing you could catch it from someone, and with this vaccine, I ll be feeling a little safer now, said farmworker Martha Linares.
