The Lee County Health Department has received notification of its fifth H1N1 (Swine) Flu-related death in an 11 year old female resident with pre-existing conditions.
"We offer our sincere condolences to this child's family and friends for their loss" said Judith A. Hartner, M.D., M.P.H., M.P.A., Director of the Lee County Health Department.
"While most cases of H1N1 Swine Flu are mild, there are exceptions. This is why the Lee County Health Department urges our community to get vaccinations against H1N1, a virus to which we have no immunity" said Hartner.
H1N1 can lead to severe sickness, and even death in some cases. Even young, healthy people can suffer serious consequences when infected. As of October 31, 149 deaths have been reported in Florida.
