Vaccine clinics open for one day before supply runs out

The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Turlock opened Thursday and then had to close again Friday because of short supply.
The SCHSA had initially planned for vaccination clinics to open at Stanislaus State in Turlock and the Modesto Centre Plaza on Tuesday in an ongoing effort to increase vaccination rates. But after a few people reported allergic reactions after getting vaccinations from Moderna Lot 041L20A, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a pause while they conducted an investigation. Vaccines from the batch in question will not be distributed until the investigation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, Moderna, and CDPH is complete.
