RALEIGH ? The North Carolina Division of Public Health has confirmed two cases of seasonal influenza, the first cases of flu confirmed by the state since last spring. The cases were diagnosed in two children from Durham County.
During most flu seasons, 90 percent of deaths from flu occur in the elderly. However, during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, most deaths from flu were among children and young adults.
Because both 2009 H1N1 and seasonal flu strains will likely be circulating this year, it is important for people of all ages to be protected, according to the division of public health.
