Health officials in Champaign and Clark counties say a Frisch's employee who works at restaurants in Urbana and Springfield has contracted hepatitis A.  

The agencies say they're working to get other employees vaccinated.  Patrons are encouraged to get vaccinated or see a doctor if they develop symptoms.  Employees at two Columbus-area restauraunts also tested positive earlier this year. The state declared a hepatitis A outbreak last year. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
