COUNTY BEGINS VACCINATING FOOD AND AGRICULTURE WORKERS

Having largely completed its efforts to vaccinate those working in the healthcare field and first responders, and making progress inoculating educators, licensed childcare providers, and those age 65 and older, the county will now accept appointments for food and agriculture workers.

Workers in the food and agricultural industries can visit the vaccination section of the county’s COVID-19 website to see about scheduling an appointment. Eligible persons should also remember that county-run vaccination sites are not the only places to receive a vaccine, so they should check with pharmacies, state-run sites and their own doctor about vaccines.

The food and agriculture industries employ a wide variety of workers, such as those supporting groceries, pharmacies, convenience stores, animal services, and other retail stores that sell food or beverage products. For considerably more detailed information on food and agriculture workers now eligible to receive a vaccination, visit the state’s COVID-19 website.
