More than 340 people had been referred for hepatitis A vaccinations as of Monday after they recently visited a West Jordan 7-Eleven store where an infected employee handled food.
The Salt Lake County Health Department has issued an alert that as many as 2,000 customers of the convenience store at 2666 W. 7800 South could have been exposed if they used the restroom or consumed fountain drinks, fruit or prepared foods from the store’s hot case between Dec. 26 and Jan. 3.
Nearly 500 people called on Monday alone, keeping nine employees busy fielding inquiries throughout the day, county health department spokesman Nicholas Rupp said.
