This follows a health alert issued by the BC Centre for Disease Control and a product recall. The product was distributed through Save-on-Foods and Overwaitea food stores in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and may also have been distributed to other provinces.

In Campbell River, drop-in immunization clinics will be held at the Campbell
River Health Unit located at 200-1100 Island Highway, Campbell River on the

If you can’t attend these clinics and need information about how to obtain the
vaccine, contact your local Public Health Unit.

The overall risk to the public is very low. If people consumed uncooked
Pomeberry frozen fruit within the past 14 days and have not previously received 2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine or have already had hepatitis A disease they are eligible to receive hepatitis A vaccine.

This *DOES NOT* apply to other berries or juice blends purchased from
