Hepatitis A have doubled and nearly quadrupled in certain areas.of metropolitan Detroit;
and
WHEREAS, health officials in Oakland Co6nty have seen small Hepatitis outbreaks
tied to day-care centers and subsequent relatedtransmission to families; and

that have had high levels of Hepatitis outbreaks in the past ten years; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Carolyn Bird, Chief of Medical Services for the Oakland County
Health Division has publicly stated that, "In Oakland County, we had a couple of day-care

day care.
