COVID-19 elucidated the urgency for health justice advocacy for Latinx farmworkers in Florida. While deemed essential, farmworkers' value was not reflected in policy responses to ensure their protection. The deficiency of culturally and linguistically relevant guidance from government agencies and state restrictions requiring identification for COVID-19 services were impediments to farmworkers accessing care. Equitable access was increased through a statewide network delivering health information and mobilizing vaccine partners to serve farmworkers at high risk of COVID-19 infection.

新冠疫情凸显了为佛罗里达州的拉丁裔农场工人争取健康正义的紧迫性。虽然农场工人被认为是不可或缺的,但他们的价值并未体现在政策应对中,以确保他们得到保护。政府机构缺乏文化和语言相关指导,以及州级限制要求识别才能获得新冠服务,这些都阻碍了农场工人获得医疗服务。通过全州范围的网络提供健康信息,并动员疫苗合作伙伴为感染新冠风险高的农场工人提供服务,从而增加了公平获得医疗服务的机会。(2024 年;114(S1):S74-S77。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307454)。
