Maine Combats Hepatitis A Outbreak Involving School

By Marler Clark LLP

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Maine Center for Disease Control yesterday ordered 170 students vaccinated for Hepatitis A.

The shots were provided to those enrolled at the Kennebunkport Consolidated School after three children at the school were diagnosed with the virus in recent weeks.

Best known for the nearby compound of former President George H.W. Bush (see picture), the Kennebunkport area has seen nine cases of Hepatitis A.  Eight involved a single family and the ninth case was linked to that family through the school.

Dr. Dora Anne Mills, director of the Maine CDC, told Seacoastonline that officials suspect that an adult who recently traveled to a country where hepatitis A is prevalent might have brought the virus back to Kennebunkport.

A letter is being sent out to parents today.  For details, go here.
