Hamilton (NJ) Township health officer Jeff Plunkett held press conference on additional hepatitis A illnesses potentially linked to Rosa’s Restaurant and Catering today and the transcript was posted by the Times of Trenton.
Both individuals ate at the restaurant during the initial exposure window – one got an IgG shot (an employee of a spa), one did not (a fitness instructor at a local Y).
The biggest takeaway was this:
2:27 p.m.: The [yoga] instructor told Plunkett that she did not take the initial situation at Rosa’s seriously and did not get the vaccine.
Hep A is serious stuff.
