"Hepatitis A Outbreak Alert: Westbrook Restaurants at Risk"
A food service worker at two Westbrook restaurants in Maine has contracted hepatitis A, prompting the state CDC to urge staff and patrons who dined at the establishments in the past three weeks to contact their health care providers. The infected employee worked at the restaurants for a total of 15 days in January and February, and patrons are advised to look for symptoms and discard any leftover food purchased from the restaurants. The CDC also recommends anyone who may have been exposed to get a hepatitis A vaccine within 14 days of their last visit.
