WATERLOO, N.Y. (WHAM) -- A class action lawsuit has been filed following a Hepatitis A exposure at a Seneca County McDonald's restaurant. 
 
 The lawsuit was filed against Jascor, Inc., which owns the McDonald's on Mound Road, on behalf of a Waterloo resident who said he was exposed to Hepatitis A at the restaurant. 
 
 Earlier this week, the Seneca County Health Department announced an employee at the restaurant had the illness, and that customers may have been exposed on several days falling between October 31 and November 7. 
 
 One thousand people were treated as part of the county's screening clinics set up following the reported exposure. The plaintiff in the case is among that group. ||||| WATERLOO, N.Y. -- More than 1,000 people received Hepatitis A vaccinations from The Seneca County Health Department Saturday. 
 
 This comes after Health Department employees say an employee of the McDonalds located at 2500 Mound Road in Waterloo was confirmed to have Hepatitis A, and many customers had potentially been exposed by eating at the restaurant. 
 
 Health officials have stressed there is a low risk of contracting the illness, but nonetheless have encouraged people who have not been vaccinated for the illness to seek treatment if they ate at the restaurant on one of the following dates: 
 
 People who ate at the McDonalds on October 31 were asked to attend a clinic at the Mynderse Academy Gymnasium at 105 Troy Street in Seneca Falls on Saturday, November 14. 
 
 People who ate at the restaurant on November 2, November 3, November 5, November 6 or November 8, have been encouraged to attend a clinic held at the gymnasium on either Saturday or Sunday. 
 
 The Saturday clinic ran from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m, and the Sunday clinic runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each of them are offering a Hepatitis A vaccine. 
 
 "In Seneca County we have we have not had Hepatitis A outbreak before, at least a large breakout in the 23 years since I've been here," Vicky Swinehart, Director of the Seneca County Public Health Department, said. "I'm glad to see we had such a good turnout and that people are taking this seriously." 
 
 More than 1,000 people came to the clinic Saturday, and many more are expected Sunday. 
 
 "For the vaccine to be effective, one must be it no later than two weeks after exposure," said Mary Jo Flynn, from the Health Department.

– Would you like fries with your contagious liver infection? The operators of a New York McDonald's have been sued after as many as 1,000 customers were possibly exposed to hepatitis A earlier this month, Reuters reports. Last Friday, the Seneca County Health Department confirmed a worker with hepatitis A prepared food and drinks at the Waterloo restaurant during the first week of the month. The employee could have infected customers by not washing his or her hands after going to the bathroom. Now Jascor Inc., which owns that McDonald's location, is facing a class-action lawsuit brought by one of the customers who dined there while the employee was working, according to WHAM. Reuters reports it's unlikely any customers actually contracted the virus. Still, cnycentral.com reports that more than 1,000 people received hepatitis A vaccinations from the health department last Saturday, after public health officials said any potentially exposed customers not previously vaccinated should do so. "We have not had a hepatitis A outbreak before—at least a large breakout—in the 23 years since I've been here," the director of the health department says. Jascor didn't respond to requests for comment, Reuters reports. And it's unclear how much the plaintiffs are seeking in the lawsuit.
