Kunia Agricultural Workers, Families Receive Vaccinations
Honolulu Community Action Program recently held a special vaccination clinic for Kunia’s agricul- tural workers and their ʻoha- na. This was made possible with help from Hawaiʻi De- partment of Health; the Na- tive Hawaiian & Pacific Is- lander Hawaiʻi COVID-19 Response, Recovery and Resilience Team; and Proj- ect Vision Hawaiʻi.
“The collaboration be- tween state departments and nonprofits is crucial in vac- cinating rural and vulner- able communities,” states executive director Robert Piper. “At HCAP, our staff works directly with resi- dents with language barriers and limited transportation access, amongst other bar- riers which make getting vaccinated a difficult, if not impossible, process. By working together ... we are better able to reach out to and vaccinate O‘ahu residents who may have otherwise struggled to find access and services to ac- commodate their needs.”

The event took place at HCAP’s Head Start campus on Kunia Road, where more than 100 individuals were given a vaccine. Workers — many of which were non-English speakers — came from other rural areas of Oʻahu and were met with HCAP’s services that assist immigrant and low-income communities.
