Hepatitis A is not particularly dangerous so why the sudden reporting about it? They don't report every time someone has strep throat.

i think that it is quite possible that a little less than 100 cases in a somewhat small state like hawaii might be likely to be considered to be an outbreak
Over 30,000 cases of hepatitis A were reported to the CDC in the US in 1997, but the number has since dropped to less than 2,000 cases reported per year.[43]

Ok, that would make sense, like something thought to be rare, rearing it's head. I guess it could be wondering why a vaccinated disease is coming back as well.

Of course I would rather not catch it but it isn't my biggest concern right now.
