Locals are cringing at the latest Hepatitis A case in Tampa Bay. 

It has been confirmed by the Pinellas County Health Department that a dishwasher at Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill worked multiple days in mid-April while infected with the virus. That means those who have dined at Ferg's last month may have been exposed to Hepatitis A. Thankfully, a quick trip to The Pinellas County Health Department for a free vaccination can do the trick.

Oddly enough, ABC Action News reported that The Pinellas County Health Department never told the public about the infected worker at Ferg’s. 

The sports bar is still running normal hours and is now Hepatitis A free.
