Boise, Idaho — Nearly 300 people were vaccinated for hepatitis A at Central District Health this past week after a health scare at the Red Feather Lounge downtown.
The Health Department confirmed that an employee working there was infected with the liver disease.
Although it appears the worker practiced good hygiene, the illness is spread by someone going to the bathroom, not washing their hands, and then handling something that someone is going to eat or drink.
