Hundreds Got Their Communion Hep A Vaccines

201101_wafers2.jpg Remember that Christmas communion Hep A scare? Still on. While it remains unclear who infected the wafers, authorities now say the patient didn't know they were sick until after the holiday. Meanwhile the church started giving out free vacines yesterday and the papers all showed up to talk to folks in line.

Most seemed fine with the situation ("It’s not going to change the way I live my life, which is I go to Mass every morning and I take communion.”) but the Post, of course, managed to find the one person who just couldn't stand waiting on another line and left in a huff after 30 minutes. The vaccines continue today until 3 p.m..

Anyway, really, it could be worse. Instead of infected communion wafers and wine the church could have been giving out Doritos and Pepsi.
