Two children die of swine flu

Tuesday 04 January 2011

Two children have died of swine flu in Nijmegen, the local health board said on Tuesday. The children were aged four and 11, and the fact they both lived in the same city is a coincidence, the health board said...

...The RIVM said said over a week ago that the flu season had begun. One in three recorded cases is swine flu (H1N1). So far this winter, 20 people have been hospitalised...

...The two children who died had not been vacinated against the disease last year, Nos said.
