ADPH: Hepatitis A identified at Montgomery Applebee's - WSFA

As a preventative measure, ADPH is asking customers who ate at the Taylor Road location between July 8-16 to contact a health care provider, pharmacy or the Montgomery County Health Department about getting a hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin.

The health department describes hepatitis A as a “viral infection that can be transmitted person-to-person and by eating food or drinks prepared by an infected person.”.

The health department states that it is rare for hepatitis A to cause severe illness, but people over 50 or with other liver diseases are more at risk.
