NATIONAL HEPATITIS AWARENESS MONTH
FREE HEPATITIS A VACCINES
Contact:
Mirna Chamorro

(407) 665-3374


Sanford, Fla. ? In recognition of May as National Hepatitis Awareness Month, the public is encouraged to learn more about hepatitis and get tested and vaccinated. The Seminole County Health Department continues collaborating closely with community partners to raise hepatitis A awareness and encourage vaccination. Free hepatitis A vaccinations are being offered to high-risk individuals at different sites throughout the county and are also available through the Hepatitis Prevention Program at DOH-Seminole. Please call the health department at 407-665-3019 to see if you qualify for free vaccine. The upcoming hepatitis A vaccine events are:

May 30[SUP]th[/SUP] from 4 - 6pm at the Seminole County Health Department Food Pantry located at 400 West Airport Boulevard, Sanford, FL 32773.

June 4[SUP]th[/SUP] from 9am ? 12pm at Shepherd?s Hope Health Center located at 600 N. US Highway 17-92, Suite 124, Longwood, FL 32750.

June 5[SUP]th[/SUP] from 3:30 - 5:30pm at Grace & Grits located at First United Methodist Church 419 S. Park Ave. Sanford, FL 32771.

June 8[SUP]th[/SUP] from 11am ? 2pm at Hispanic Community Festival located at Clifford McKibbin Park, 1201 W. 25[SUP]th[/SUP] St. Sanford, FL. 32771.

?Many people are unaware that they are infected with hepatitis. It is important to get tested and treated for hepatitis early to prevent serious liver problems, including liver damage, cirrhosis and even liver cancer,? said Donna Walsh, health officer for the Seminole County Health Department.

The National Hepatitis Awareness Month annual observance is an opportunity to collaborate and shed light on this epidemic by raising awareness about viral hepatitis and encouraging priority populations to get tested. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends baby boomers or anyone born from 1945-1965 get tested for hepatitis C. Baby boomers are 5 times more likely to have hepatitis C, which is not completely understood. Most boomers are believed to have become infected in the 1970s and 1980s when rates of hepatitis C were the highest.

Hepatitis is characterized by inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis A, B, and C are the most common types of viral hepatitis in the United States. Symptoms of hepatitis, if they are present, include nausea, fever, weakness, loss of appetite and jaundice. Hepatitis A is transmitted by eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with human waste (feces). Although anyone can get hepatitis A, some people are at higher risk; such as, people with direct contact with someone who has hepatitis A, men who have sexual contact with men, people who use drugs, and people who are experiencing homelessness. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. Hepatitis C is usually spread through contact with blood containing the virus. Vaccines are available for hepatitis A and B. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C (HCV).

A fourth death from Hepatitis A in Martin County as outbreak continues
By Cindy Krischer Goodman
| South Florida Sun Sentinel |
Jun 24, 2019 | 1:14 PM

Florida?s Department of Health is struggling to control the outbreak of hepatitis A, with the number of new cases rising weekly, restaurant workers reporting they are infected and now the fourth death from the contagious liver virus in Martin County.

In the last week alone, Florida reported 77 new cases of hepatitis A, bringing the state total to 1,636. Florida has seen more cases of the contagious liver virus in the first 5 1/2 months of 2019 than the previous five years combined. Most of the cases are concentrated in the Tampa area, however South Florida has a rising number of cases, too: Miami-Dade (22), Broward (12) and Palm Beach (29). Florida has had 21 deaths attributed to hepatitis A since 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

While the Florida Department of Health is trying to find the source of the hepatitis A outbreak, the fourth victim of the disease this year in Martin County was laid to rest on Saturday. The obituary for 75-year-old Colin Holmes Jr., of Palm City, said he was diagnosed with hepatitis A in March and never recovered.

Rep. Toby Overdorf, who represents District 83, told Sun Sentinel partner WPEC-Ch. 12 news that the four people in Martin County who?ve died from hepatitis A were all over age 50 and none were from the so-called ?at-risk populations,? such as intravenous drug users, prisoners and homosexuals. ?There is something that?s going on that is causing these deaths," he said...
