Program Details
This program offers free vaccines to farmworkers and farm owners across Vermont. The goals are to make sure farmworkers have access to accurate vaccine information and vaccines so that their risk of illness is reduced. Farmworkers may be especially vulnerable to illnesses due to the dirty, dangerous, and physically difficult work environment. They often live and work in close quarters, which means illness can spread easily and quickly. They have less access to vaccines due to health care costs, lack of transportation, work schedule, and language barriers.
We began our fall immunization outreach clinics at the beginning of October and will continue doing clinics through the end of December.
