Hepatitis A risk for yogurt eaters in North Carolina

Patrons of the Fruitti Yogurt in Goldsboro, N.C. are being advised to receive a free protective shot against hepatitis A.

The Wayne County Health Department says anyone who ate at the 317 Spence Ave. restaurant on Dec. 7 needs to visit a free clinic at 301 North Herman St.

The exposure might have occurred on Dec. 7 because of an infection in an employee who was diagnosed on Dec. 14.

The hepatitis A vaccine reduces the risk of the disease when given within 14 days of exposure.

If you’ve been previously vaccinated, no worries.
