November 23, 2009

CONCORD, N.H.?New Hampshire health officials say two adults have died from complications from swine flu, bringing the number of such deaths in the state to five.

Dr. Jose Montero, the state's public health director, says one person is from Cheshire County and the other is from Strafford County. The cases were reported and confirmed last week.

The state is expanding its vaccination campaign to include another high-risk group: caretakers of children under 6 months of age.

Montero said people can find out the latest vaccination clinic information from the Department of Health and Human Services' Web site.
