Re: Iowa 2011-2012 Flu Season: Weeks 40-6 (Regional)

I saw the following statement on page 2 in the Week 3, Week 5 and Week 6 reports from Iowa and yet the page 1 summaries indicate no pediatric fatalities.

Influenza‐associated Pediatric Mortality: One influenza‐associated pediatric death was reported and was associated with an influenza B virus.
In the reports from Week 52, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 4, the report states:

Influenza‐associated Pediatric Mortality: No influenza‐associated pediatric deaths were reported.

Re: Iowa 2011-2012 Flu Season: Weeks 40-6 (Regional)

That is a summary of National pediatric deaths. Hawaii lists these also, and is a bit confusing.
