Hepatitis A Outbreak at Pine Knob Concerts Confirmed

Health officials have confirmed a case of hepatitis A associated with the Ivy Lounge at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Pontiac, Michigan.

Those who attended the Jason Aldean concert on September 8 still have time to get vaccinated before September 23.
