FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- As the coronavirus vaccine gets disbursed nationwide, community leaders say the focus should shift to vaccine education.
In a study done by the California Farmworker Association, about 30% of those polled said they would not take the vaccine citing concerns over its safety.
Fifty percent said they would get it and 15% were undecided.
Close to 160 farmworkers from Kern to Madera counties were surveyed.
"They are afraid of what the side effects are going to do to their bodies," said Hernan Hernandez, Executive Director for the California Farmworker Foundation. "There are still too many uncertainties when it comes to the vaccine."
