4 More Flu Deaths in Minn., 3 Confirmed H1N1 Cases

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota health officials are reporting three more deaths from swine flu and another death from a flu-like illness that wasn't confirmed as H1N1.

Health Department officials say the three confirmed victims all had underlying health conditions.

Health officials didn't provide names or genders of the victims, but they were a Hennepin County resident in their 50s, a Fillmore County resident in their 20s and a Winona County resident in their 70s.

The fourth death was an "older adult" who died of the flu, but there wasn't a sample available to test and confirm what type of flu.

Also, state health officials say they are making plans to vaccinate young children in schools throughout the state in a few weeks, but only if they get enough vaccine and with parents' consent.

I sure hope they get this under control soon!

I had it, as well as both my kids" it gives you a hell of a headache, and a fever, but its NOT what the press make it out to be, the regular flu has killed more people then the H1N1!!! its all just hyped up bullshit!!!!!

What i don't like is that they are trying to get people to have there kids take this shot without knowing if there is any underlining ailments, that is were all the people are dieing and 90% are our children they can shove that shot up there ass.

I agree with you, Mike. I will NEVER get a flu shot again. ANY of the shots like that are the "live" viruses itself. If you don't have a good immune system, you will more than likely get it.

Sorry to hear that you and your kids had the H1N1 virus, Rock. Also glad to hear that you all are ok..
