Well before the 9 a.m. start time, dozens of Immokalee farmworkers lined up for COVID-19 vaccines beneath an overhang near vacant stores at a strip mall. Polonne Colin, 65, was among the first at the pop-up clinic.
The main reason she opted for the vaccine now, though she was eligible earlier: she sees everyone she knows getting it.
