Toasted tastes better: Salt Lake City Quiznos on hepatitis A alert after sandwich maker tests positive

People who ate a Quiznos at 30 East Broadway (300 South) in Salt Lake City on August 6 or 7 may have been exposed to Hepatitis A via an infected food worker and should receive an injection of immune globulin (IG) or hepatitis A vaccine as soon as possible.

Those individuals may receive a vaccination at
Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD) City Clinic,
621 South 200 East, on:

* August 19 until 5 p.m.
* August 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
* August 21 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

People who ate at Quiznos at 30 East Broadway (300 South) in Salt Lake City between July 27 and August 5 may also have been exposed but would not benefit from immunizations because immunizations must be given within 14 days of exposure. These people should watch for signs of hepatitis A and contact their health care provider if they develop illness.
