Two more deaths of A/H1N1 flu reported in Massachusetts

The latest victims involved a 13 year-old boy and a 64 year-old adult, both from the Worcester County, according to a news release from the department late Monday.

The boy died last week with a number of underlying health conditions that put him at greater risk of complications from the flu, the department said, while the old resident died over the weekend and also had a series of underlying health conditions.

"It is with great sadness that we have learned of two more deaths including the first pediatric death of a Massachusetts resident related to H1N1.

 We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both of these individuals," said DPH Commissioner John Auerbach; Kazinform refers to China View.
