Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Sports Bars and Shopping-Centre Restaurants: Lessons from Hepatitis A in a Buffalo Wild Wings Worker in Monterey Park (2024)
LA County Public Health urged anyone who ate or drank at a Buffalo Wild Wings over ten days to get a hepatitis A vaccine after a worker was infected. What should Thai sports bars prepare?
The Real Story from the News: Vaccination Is the Best Prevention
ABC7 reported on 27 November 2024 that LA County Public Health warned a worker at Buffalo Wild Wings in Monterey Park Marketplace had hepatitis A, urging anyone who ate or drank there between 13 and 22 November to get vaccinated and watch for symptoms.
Officials said vaccination is the best way to prevent the disease; older adults and immunocompromised people may also benefit from immune globulin, and there is no specific antiviral treatment.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
Sports bars pack in crowds on game nights with finger food, shared dips and staff juggling kitchen and bar in the rush. Hepatitis A is vaccine-preventable, so bars should encourage staff vaccination, enforce handwashing and be ready to deep clean when incidents occur.

How to Use Them Effectively
- Encourage hepatitis A vaccination for kitchen and bar staff
- Wash hands with soap whenever switching between kitchen and bar
- Keep staff with jaundice or nausea off and send them to a doctor
- Steam the kitchen and bar with STEMAR after closing nightly
- Fog the venue with the U240 after closing; usable about 30 minutes after ULV fogging
Before and After Using the Right Equipment
Before: Staff switched tasks without washing and knew nothing of vaccines.
After: Vaccinated staff, handwashing at every switch and a clean kitchen. Fans cheer worry-free.
Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a specific treatment for hepatitis A? A: No specific antiviral exists, so officials stress vaccination as the best prevention.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Health References
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Summary
Monterey Park shows one worker can send hundreds of diners for vaccines. Bars that look after staff and hygiene keep their customers.
