More than 2,000 people received free antibody shots to fight off hepatitis A after learning an employee at a north Harris County Pappasito’s Cantina was infected with the disease, county health officials said.
Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services had issued a health advisory for any customers who had eaten at the restaurant since late January.
People exposed to hepatitis A can be treated with antibodies, but they must receive shots no later than two weeks after exposure.
