The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has identified a case of hepatitis A that occurred in a food worker who worked at Panda Express located at 44411 Valley Central Way Lancaster, CA 93536. Residents in Lancaster, California could have been exposed to Hepatitis A at this local Panda Express. To date, no additional cases have been identified. However, for those who consumed food or beverages at the restaurant between July 21st and August 4th, 2023, a Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended.

Vaccination is not necessary for people who previously completed the hepatitis A vaccine series or are known to have a past infection.

Hepatitis A vaccinations might be available through local pharmacies or physicians’ offices. In addition, Public Health will be offering free hepatitis A vaccinations to exposed persons at Antelope Valley Health Center, 335 E Ave K 6 B, Lancaster, CA 93535, Monday, August 14, 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm and Tuesday, August 15 through Friday, August 18, 8 am - 4:30 pm.

Most adults with Hepatitis A may suffer from symptoms from fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain to more severe symptoms such as jaundice. It's advised to seek medical attention if these symptoms persist after a potential exposure. Vaccinations are the most effective preventative measure against the disease.

In case you experienced Hepatitis A symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
