Calgary McDonald's patrons to line up for hepatitis A inoculations

McDonald's Hepatitis AA worker at a Calgary, Alberta, Canada McDonald's restaurant has been diagnosed with hepatitis A, and in an effort to prevent an outbreak, public health officials are offering immune globulin injections to inoculate customers against the hepatitis A virus.

Anyone who ate at McDonald's less than 14 days ago is eligible to receive the injection.

This week's food safety infosheet from the International Food Safety Network provides additional information about the hepatitis A exposure.
