A second employee at a Contoocook restaurant has tested positive for Hepatitis A, prompting state health officials to open vaccination clinics.
The bartender worked only two days at the Covered Bridge Restaurant: on August 13th and August 20th.
Public Health Director Jose Montero says an estimated 100 to 200 people may have been exposed, though the risk of transmission is small.
"This is a really low-risk situation, I want to over-emphasize that," says Montero. "We are doing this just as a preventive measure."
The state will offer vaccines at Bow High School Friday from 5 to 8 pm, and Saturday morning from 9 am until 12:00 pm.
Last month, a different bartender at the restaurant tested positive. The state says the two cases are linked.
No customers have contracted the illness.
