Five on Friday: How Vermont Has Vaccinated Its Farm Workers

Five on Friday: How Vermont Has Vaccinated Its Farm Workers

Here on Five on Friday, we try to share a diversity of resources from the many members of the MCN staff who share what they're finding useful. This week, Alma Galván shared three exceptional and useful videos this week -- but we can't have her hogging our Five on Friday. What to do? We've joined Alma's recommendations together into one recommendation, but we know you're not fooled. So, here it is, technically our Seven on Friday for the week. Enjoy!

Alma Galván shared an hour-long special from the Twin Cities NPR on vaccine hesitancy and the clinicians and community advocates working to overcome it, Trusted Messenger. She later forwarded on a piece from Vice en Español that is worth the watch, La desinformación sobre la pandemia en redes sociales. Her final recommendation (another one too good not to share!)  is from our partners at NRC-RIM and NCHF, Los Que Me Importan.
