Farmers never hesitate to roll up their sleeves alongside their employees in the field. Now, many are doing that in COVID-19 vaccination clinics across the country – or even on the farm.
North Carolina Farm Bureau President and farmer Shawn Harding shared a video documenting his vaccine experience. As part of its effort to promote farmer and employee vaccinations and awareness, North Carolina Farm Bureau posted the video to its social media accounts with links to several resources.
In Idaho, Mickelsen Farms partnered with local health officials and an urgent care center to have more than 350 of their employees vaccinated in four hours.

These are some of the stories American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall shared with Vice President Kamala Harris at the launch of the COVID-19 Community Corps, a public education campaign to increase vaccine confidence. AFBF is a founding member.
Launched on April 1, the initiative is intended to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines while reinforcing basic prevention measures such as mask wearing and social distancing. The campaign utilizes a network of trusted messengers, like AFBF, to help the public make informed decisions about their health and COVID-19, including steps to protect themselves and their communities.
