KNOXVILLE, Tenn. A restaurant worker in Campbell County has been diagnosed with hepatitis A, and health officials today urged people who ate at the restaurant to be vaccinated.
The East Tennessee Regional Health Office has been investigating an outbreak of the viral liver disease in the county and found a person working at Charley’s Pizza in Jacksboro was diagnosed.
Officials said people who ate at the restaurant on September first, second, seventh, eighth or ninth should get an injection of immune serum globulin tomorrow or Friday at a clinic set up at the LaFollette Church of God.

Officials do not believe the employee caused the outbreak. Cases of hepatitis A were reported in Campbell County this spring and summer.
Hepatitis A symptoms include mild fever, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, tiredness, dark urine and jaundice. It often is spread by poor hygiene.
