Anyone who consumed ice, beverages with ice, ice cream or lemons at the PF Chang's in West 
Chester, Ohio anytime between March 14 and 25 should see their doctor immediately.
A restaurant worker with Hepatitis A was on the job then, putting everyone consuming one of those items in danger, according to the Butler County Health Department. The Kypost reports tonight (3/28/08) on the alert about the Hepatitis scare.

Dozens of people are showing up at the Central Health District in Boise, ID for shots, either vaccines or immune globulin. All are patrons of the Red Feather Lounge, a trendy spot in downtown Boise, and they were served in the establishment sometime between March 5 and 17 when they might have been served by a restaurant worker who was contaminated with Hepatitis A.
The online Argus Observer reports that:
While the risk to the public is low, lounge patrons possibly could have been exposed, David Fotsch, public information officer for the Central District Health Department, said in an announcement released Tuesday. Central and Southwest District health departments are recommending people not immune to hepatitis A who had food or a drink at the Red Feather Lounge during the specified dates receive hepatitis A vaccines or immune globulin immediately. They should also contact their health provider if they are showing any symptoms of hepatitis, Fotsch said.

On April 1st, North Dakota will require children in daycare to have vaccines for Hepatitis A, Pneumococcal, and Rotavirus.
KFYR-TV took a look at how its going with the deadline fast approaching. The Bismark station reports:
"Well most of the kids have the pneumonia one, some of the small ones have the Hepatitis A one, but very few have the rotavirus one," says Renae Vilhauer, of King`s Kids Daycare.
Bismarck-Bureleigh Public Health says that`s because the rotavirus vaccine has only been available for two years. It must be given to a child by the time he or she is eight months old, meaning a child who is three has never, and will never get the chance to receive the immunization.
The State Health Department says it`s up to the daycare to enforce the immunization deadline.
Vilhauer told KFYR-TV that although the immunizations will be required by the state, asking, instead of ordering, parents to immunize their children is really all that can be done.
