In land that was once the independent country/state of Franklin, also known as Eastern Tennessee, the mystery continues. The Northeast Tennessee Regional Health District has not found the source of the Hepatitis A outbreak.

The location is known, near beautiful Cherokee Lake and Mooresburg in Hawkins, County, TN. At least eight people in those parts contracted Hep A, and 1,500 took advantage of the District’s offer to provide free vaccines.

Sure is beautiful though.
