A cluster of hepatitis A cases in the Orthodox Jewish community in London, United Kingdom in July 2010 has triggered extensive contact tracing and vaccination. Two primary cases imported from a common source in Israel and three secondary cases have resulted in immunisation of over 900 contacts to date. Rapid response by local public health, primary care services and a dedicated community health team, and active hepatitis A vaccination rather than immunoglobulin treatment were used to avert a larger outbreak.
2010 年 7 月，英国伦敦东正教犹太社区发生了一批甲型肝炎病例，引发了广泛的接触者追踪和疫苗接种工作。两例原发性病例从以色列的一个共同源头输入，三例继发性病例导致迄今为止已对 900 多名接触者进行了免疫接种。当地公共卫生、初级保健服务和专门的社区卫生小组的快速反应，以及积极的甲型肝炎疫苗接种而不是免疫球蛋白治疗，都被用来避免更大规模的疫情爆发。
