Manitoba health officials are warning of a possible exposure to hepatitis A at a Winnipeg church.
Anyone who was at the Crossways in Common building at 222 Furby St. from Aug. 14 to Sept. 23 is eligible for a free dose of the hepatitis A vaccine.
People who were at the West Broadway church and community service hub are encouraged to monitor for symptoms until Nov. 11.
An immunization clinic will be held at the 1JustCity West Broadway site within Crossways in Common on Oct. 1 from noon to 3 p.m.
Symptoms of hepatitis A — an acute liver infection — usually develop 14 to 28 days after exposure and can include fever, loss of appetite, tiredness, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea.
