SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego County health officials are reminding those who received a hepatitis A shot in October that it’s time for a second dose.
Communities have out more than 138,000 doses in the year since the hepatitis A outbreak began.
New cases have dropped significantly but health officials say the outbreak is still ongoing. Receiving the second shot boosts immunity from 20 to 40 years.
