Dozens of Nelson County’s migrant farm workers and other essential farm workers received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend as health officials continue to work through phases of the immunization rollout. With 200 available appointments, farm workers filtered in and out of the Nelson Center in Lovingston on Sunday for a mass vaccination clinic, one of several clinics to be held in the county since vaccination efforts began. University of Virginia Medical Center personnel began administering the dozens of Pfizer vaccines at about 9 a.m. It was a multi-organizational effort to bring vaccination services to farm workers in Nelson County, including collaboration from local growers, said Dr. Max Luna, associate professor of medicine in the division of cardiology and the coordinator of the UVa Latino Health Initiative.
