MINERAL WELLS ? A case of hepatitis A has been confirmed in an employee at Cracker Barrell in Mineral Wells.
The Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department said this morning that the risk of contracting hepatitis A from the restaurant is low, but people who have not been vaccinated against the viral infection of the liver and consumed food there between Oct. 15-21 are advised to continue getting the vaccine.
To help prevent infection, the vaccine should be administered not more than two weeks from the potential exposure. Today is the two-week mark from the first potential exposure date.
A health department assessment found the risk to restaurant patrons was low, the release says. The restaurant voluntarily closed to clean and sanitize and was reopened after a health department inspection, it says.
