MSU clinic offers Hep-A vaccine

Morehead State University’s counseling and Health Services department is offering Hepatitis A vaccines to students, faculty and staff.

The U-S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Kentucky had the worst outbreak of the virus in the nation in June. 

Jennifer Trent is a registered nurse who works at the M-S-U campus Clinic.  She says everyone should get the vaccine.

Trent says the state now requires school aged children to get the Hep-A vaccine, but most college students remain unvaccinated.
