  • View Larger Image

In this video explainer, we break down some of the myths surrounding San Diego’s hepatitis A outbreak, including that children are particularly vulnerable, that sewage from the Tijuana River is contributing to the problem and more.

By Adriana Heldiz.The outbreak of hepatitis A in San Diego has caused something else to spread: myths about the disease.

We’ve put together a short video explainer that breaks down some of the myths surrounding San Diego’s hepatitis A outbreak, including that children are particularly vulnerable, that sewage from the Tijuana River is contributing to the problem and more.
