Symptoms of Hepatitis A may include fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, light coloured stool, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice, according to the SHA.

Hepatitis A is a liver infection cause by a virus that is spread from person to person. While the risk of transmission is very low, the SHA said the possibility still exists.

The SHA says to be eligible for a Hepatitis A vaccination, it should be no more than 14 days since the most recent meal from the restaurant.
