Swine Flu Claims Another Life in New Jersey
|
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Another New Jersey resident has died from swine flu.
State Health and Senior Services Commissioner Heather Howard says the 42-year-old Middlesex County man was hospitalized with underlying medical conditions. No other details were provided.
At least 20 people in the Garden State have died from the H1N1 virus. State officials confirmed last week that a 17-year-old student who attended Rancocas Valley High School in Burlington County had died.
Howard says about 775,000 vaccines have been shipped to New Jersey, more than half the 1.4 million that have been ordered.
The commissioner says swine flu has been confirmed in all 21 counties and that New Jersey is one of 48 states where the virus is considered to be widespread.
