    Last modified April 05, 2012, at 7:43 p.m. WARREN, Maine — A prison inmate in Warren likely died last year from the flu, a disease that most prisoners are not given vaccinations for, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    A post on the agency’s website said Thursday that “on March 8, 2011, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention received a laboratory report of a positive influenza specimen from an intensive-care unit patient who was an inmate at a prison (facility A). That same day, the state medical examiner notified Maine CDC of an inmate death suspected to be have been caused by influenza at another, nearby prison (facility B).”

    The prisoner who died was described as a “previously healthy” 29-year-old male who experienced an “onset of rapidly progressive respiratory symptoms on March 7 [2011].” The report indicated that he had never been vaccinated for the influenza. He died on March 8.
