No Florida ID? Health workers making vaccines possible for farmworkers

Well before the 9 a.m. start time, dozens of Immokalee farmworkers lined up for COVID-19 vaccines beneath an overhang near vacant stores at a strip mall. Polonne Colin, 65, was among the first at the pop-up clinic. The main reason she opted for the vaccine now, though she was eligible earlier: she sees everyone she knows getting it. Rural health advocates who have ramped up efforts to reach farmworkers say demand for the vaccine is strong. And despite media reports and lawmakers concerns that Florida s residency requirements are hindering vaccination efforts for farmworkers, advocates say health officials are finding ways around them.
