Five-year-old Dayton boy dies from H1N1 virus

by WKSU's STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT JO INGLES


Reporter
Jo Ingles
 
A five year-old Warren County boy is the latest Ohioan killed by complications from the H1N1 virus or swine flu. Ohio Health Department spokesman Kristopher Weiss tells Statehouse correspondent Jo Ingles the number of Ohioans dying from the disease is now in double digits.

Health officials say, unlike seasonal flu, the swine flu is hitting younger people harder because they lack the immunities for it that older Ohioans have likely already developed over their lifetimes. Each year in Ohio, seasonal flu and pneumonia contribute to the deaths of more than 3,000 Ohioans. Health officials say most of the flu they are seeing right now is H1N1 virus, not seasonal flu.
