Pilot program vaccinates Oregon farmworkers at unique clinic By BRYCE DOLE, East Oregonian Published: March 31, 2021, 1:37pm Share: BOARDMAN, Ore. – Maria Corona knew she wanted to get the vaccine. Three months earlier, eight of her family members tested positive for COVID-19. So had many of her co-workers and neighbors. “I was really concerned,” said Corona, who, at 49, spends half the year working in food processing plants and the other half working in the fields near her home in Boardman. “You hear a lot in the news that people are dying, so you get afraid.” The day after Corona learned through Facebook that she and her co-workers were eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, she hopped in her Dodge Caravan and made her way down to the SAGE Center, where state and county health officials were offering doses to farmworkers in a four-day clinic that was the first of its kind.
