Bartholomew County health officials vaccinated more than 300 customers who had eaten at Mark Pi’s China Gate in the FairOaks Mall after an employee at the restaurant was diagnosed with hepatitis A.
A vaccination clinic was held Thursday at the nursing division of the Bartholomew County Health Department.
The case at Mark Pi’s was at least the third confirmed case of hepatitis A at a restaurant in Columbus this month, as state and county health officials continue to grapple with an outbreak of the disease which, as of May 17, had killed four people and resulted in 753 hospitalizations in Indiana.
