Since the beginning of the 2009-2010 flu season, South Dakota has reported 191 lab-confirmed cases of H1N1 flu and 25 hospitalizations. Young children make up most of the cases; 72 percent of confirmed cases and 61 percent of related hospitalizations in South Dakota are among those younger than 19.
