Florida Matters More

This week on Florida Matters we discuss the concerns of more than 28 hundred cases of hepatitis A being diagnosed in Florida so far this year, it has become one of the worst outbreaks of the liver disease in the country. We talk about how some counties in Florida have managed to keep their numbers from growing.  We also learn why vaccinations and even something as simple as washing your hands are key to prevention. Our guests include: Julio Ochoa, editor of Health News Florida at WUSF. Jill Roberts, assistant professor at USF College of Public health.
