Back to SearchThe North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) is advising the community that Public Health Sudbury & Districts is reporting a second confirmed case of hepatitis A. The case is also an employee in the deli department of the Real Canadian Superstore located at 1485 Lasalle Boulevard in Sudbury, Ontario.
Anyone who ate clerk-served deli meat or cheese, or meat and cheese from prepared deli trays purchased from the store between November 27, 2019 and January 2, 2020, could be at risk of hepatitis A infection.
It is suggested that individuals who ate the listed food items in the last 14 days get vaccinated for hepatitis A.
IMPORTANT: Anyone who has previously completed the 2-dose hepatitis A vaccination series is protected and does not need an additional dose to protect against this exposure. Anyone who has only received one dose of hepatitis A vaccine in the past should receive the second dose to complete the series.
If you ate these food items or if you have questions about getting the vaccine, contact the Health Unit at 705-474-1400, ext. 5229 (toll-free 1-800-563-2808), or speak with your health care provider as soon as possible.
