MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) Worried workers have been asking for months when the vaccine would be available, so this day brought relief.
Foster Farms says 370 workers at its Livingston plant have tested positive for COVID since September, while nine employees lost their lives. It s absolutely heartbreaking the devastation to families COVID-19 has had, says Assemblymember Adam Gray.
Half the Foster Farms workforce in Merced County was able to get their first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. I ve been talking to a couple people as they ve gone through it, says Ira Brill. They re very appreciative. They generally like working for the company. They realize what we have done.
