Question.5044 - Forum A - Hepatitis A vaccine for foodservice workers or their customers?What do you think should be done to reduce the risk of getting Hepatitis A infection after visiting a restaurant or another place where you may be served food? Should vaccination of foodservice workers be encouraged or mandated? Could widespread vaccination be effective? Does it make more sense for everyone to get this vaccine? With many Americans hesitant to receive a COVID-19 or influenza vaccine, would a Hepatitis vaccine requirement be successful or effective?Or, perhaps is there a better way to reduce transmission of this virus through food or by foodhandlers?
