Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has limitations. We cannot verify how well our sample represents the farmworker population, many of whom are “hidden” from population statistical measures (32). As we excluded individuals who did not speak Spanish or English sufficiently well to participate in the cross-sectional study, our study likely under-represents indigenous populations (estimated at 13% of Salinas Valley farmworkers (12)). Roughly half of our cross-sectional study participants were enrolled in clinic-based testing, among whom infection prevalence could be expected to be higher; nonetheless, many of these individuals did not experience COVID-19 symptoms, and our statistical framework accounted for differences between clinic-based and outreach samples. Last, waning antibody titers from infections acquired early in the pandemic may have contributed to under-estimation of seroprevalence, in particular for individuals who experienced mild or asymptomatic infection (33). While Phase 1 vaccination programs have prioritized residents of long-term care facilities and healthcare workers, at the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (34), prioritization of differing essential workforce groups among Phase 2 recipients will be determined by states. Our study demonstrates high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and both acute and persisting symptoms of COVID-19 among farmworkers in California’s Salinas Valley, underscoring the urgency of preventive interventions for this population.
