[Daniel O'Donnell]

Dear Community Leader, 


I write with an important alert from the NYC Department of Health. Please help spread the word! 


-- 


In response to a case of hepatitis A in a food handler at Westside Market located at 2589 Broadway between 97th and 98th street , on the Upper West Side, the Health Department is urging patrons who ate chopped, ready-to-eat fruit either in-store, through catering or delivery between August 9th and August 22nd to get hepatitis A vaccination as a precautionary measure. Fruits involved include those packaged in plastic containers and sold in the refrigerated case immediately to the left as you enter the store and include watermelon cut into halves and quarters; peeled whole pineapples; and shelled and cut coconut. 


People can visit their regular doctor to receive this shot. The Health Department will offer free hepatitis A vaccinations at MS 258: Community Action School located at 154 West 93rd St. New York, NY 10025 at the following times: 


Monday, Aug. 26: 2 p.m. - 8 p.m. 
Tuesday, Aug. 27: 3 p.m. - 8 p.m. 


(Those with insurance, please bring your insurance card with you)

Very truly yours,
