ABSTRACT
The poultry and meatpacking industry is one of the largest in Arkansas and was associated with several COVID-19 outbreaks at the start of the pandemic. Marshallese and Hispanic workers account for much of the poultry and meatpacking workforce and were disproportionately affected. The Arkansas Department of Health held worksite vaccination clinics and administered 1794 doses. Of those doses, 1219 (67.9%) and 391 (21.8%) were administered to Hispanic and Marshallese workers, respectively. Vaccination efforts must target populations that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(5)500-503. https//doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307226).
