Walmart to temporarily close Lodi supercenter for deep cleaning [The Record, Stockton, Calif]
LODI – Walmart’s Lodi Supercenter at 1601 S. Lower Sacramento Road will close temporarily at 2 p.m. today and remain closed through 7 a.m. Tuesday for deep-cleaning and restocking, the company said in a statement.
The closure will give third-party cleaning crews time to thoroughly clean and sanitize the supercenter, at 1601 S. Lower Sacramento Road, part of a company-initiated program to keep employees and customers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The location store will remain closed Monday to provide employees time to restock shelves and prepare the store to reopen at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
This week, the first round of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, some 4,875 doses, was distributed by San Joaquin County Public Health to the county’s seven hospitals, who inoculated their health care workers. Some 1,950 doses went to St. Joseph’s, which has a deep freezer. Pfizer’s vaccine and the Moderna vaccine, which soon is expected to be approved by the Food & Drug Administration, are RNA vaccines, a technique that never has been used before in a human vaccine but is extraordinary and appears to be a highly effective technique, Neeley said.
Neeley explained the RNA vaccine mimics the virus’ mechanism of action but does it in an extraordinarily safe way, “because you’re not producing a live virus,” he said.
STOCKTON – Jason-Alec Soto was among the first to receive the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday afternoon at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Medical Center.
The Modesto resident born and raised in Stockton said he was trepidatious initially but decided to go ahead to help protect himself and his family from the coronavirus.
“For me the importance of getting this is my mom is a high-risk person,” said Soto, who works in admitting at the hospital. “From what I’ve been told, this is good for people that are high risk. I just want to make sure my mom is safe, so for me it was important to get it for her.”
