The Philadelphia Department of Public Health has recently confirmed that a person who works at the ShopRite at Oxford and Levick, located at 6301 Oxford St, Philadelphia, has acute Hepatitis A. The store is aware of the situation and is working collaboratively with the Health Department.
No additional ill people have been reported and no other stores are affected. While the risk of Hepatitis A infection is very low, the Health Department recommends that people who handled raw beef or pork or ate undercooked beef or pork purchased from the store’s meat counter between January 4th, 2024 and January 21st, 2024 receive Hepatitis A vaccine as soon as possible.
