TORONTO – A second hepatitis A vaccination clinic is scheduled for today after an employee at an east-end juice bar was diagnosed with the virus.
Toronto Public Health officials are asking people who consumed juice at the Big Carrot at 348 Danforth Avenue between March 17 and April 2 to get themselves vaccinated.
“While the risk is low, individuals who consumed fresh organic juice from this food market during these dates should get a hepatitis A vaccination as soon as possible,” city officials said in a media release Saturday.
A vaccination clinic was held on Sunday at the East York Civic Centre but the vaccines ran out.
The second session is being held at the Scarborough Civic Centre between 1 and 4 p.m.
Health officials say the hepatitis A vaccine is most effective when received within 14 days of exposure.
