How fan-fataing-tastic.
The risk of exposure to hepatitis A at the restaurant is low, butvaccination to prevent infection is available for anyone who ate at therestaurant less than 14 days ago. Anyone who ate at the restaurant morethan 14 days ago is not eligible for preventative vaccination, as the timeperiod for effective treatment has passed. Patrons who ate at therestaurant more than 14 days ago need to be aware of the symptoms ofhepatitis A, which include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea,vomiting and abdominal pain. These symptoms are followed a few days laterby the occurrence of dark-coloured urine, light-coloured stools, andjaundice (yellow eyes/skin). Anyone who develops these symptoms should stay home from school, work,daycare or other activities; avoid preparing food for others; and contacta physician or Health Link.
