Hepatitis A outbreak finally under control
Pennsylvania - State and federal health officials said Saturday that Pennsylvania's hepatitis A outbreak is winding down, even as the number of those infected climbed over 600. The investigation shifted to how green onions linked to the outbreak became contaminated.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., met Saturday with Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state health officials at a community college near the Beaver County Chi-Chi's restaurant where the outbreak was first confirmed Nov. 3.
