The Multnomah County Health Department is investigating hepatitis A at two Portland cafes.
-
This is only for people who ate or drank at the Cup & Saucer, 8237 N Denver March 22 to March 29 OR ate at the cafe Feb. 22 to March 29 and then had fever, tiredness, belly pain, vomiting, diarrhea or jaundice.
-
This is also for anyone who ate or drank at the Cup & Saucer at 3566 SE Hawthorne March 22 or March 25.
The best way to prevent hepatitis A is by getting vaccinated. There are vaccines that can lower the risk of getting sick if they are given within 2 weeks of coming in contact with the virus.
Callers should check with your provider about vaccine or other care options.
If you don't have a provider or you can't get into your provider in time, vaccines are available through the Multnomah County Immunization Clinic at 426 SW Stark Street, Portland (3rd floor). Walk-in clinic hours are:
-
April 6-7, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
-
April 8, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
-
April 10-12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Also, you may be able to get the vaccine at your local pharmacy. Walgreens, Rite Aid, Fred Meyer, and Costco pharmacies all offer hepatitis A vaccine to anyone over age 7. Call your neighborhood pharmacy directly to find out more.
Hepatitis A is now a required vaccine for Oregon children up to 8th grade. So if your school-aged child is up to date on vaccinations, they are protected.
