The Sudbury and District Health Unit is reporting a confirmed case of hepatitis A in an individual in the area.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Penny Sutcliffe says the investigation has revealed the person did consume the recently re-called Costco Nature’s Touch Organic Berry Cherry Blend frozen berries.

However, Dr Sutcliffe says it has not been confirmed if the berries were the source of infection.

Anyone who ate the berries in the last 14 days and is not fully vaccinated, is advised to get a shot as soon as possible.

The Health Unit is running a vaccination clinic at it’s offices at 1300 Paris St Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm.
