ADPH: Hepatitis A vaccine available only to people of high risk in counties with outbreaks - CBS42.com

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) — The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) has limited the supply of the hepatitis A vaccine, saying it is only available for those who are at risk of contracting it and reside in counties where outbreaks are being experienced.

Currently, 25 counties in Alabama have confirmed outbreak-like cases of the infection, including Autauga, Blount, Cherokee, DeKalb, Etowah, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, Montgomery and Russell. 

People who are at the highest risk for infection are those who use street drugs (injection or non-injection), those currently or previously incarcerated, those who engage in anal or oral sex, and those with unstable housing or homelessness.

Restaurant owners and managers have started recommending hepatitis A vaccines for employees due to multiple cases being confirmed among service industry workers.
