A 41-year-old Santa Clara County woman has died of swine flu, an ominous
development that prompted health officials Friday to strongly advise
people of all ages to get vaccinated.
.
Last year, no one in the county younger than 65 died of any flu strain.
.
Unlike many other flu viruses, swine flu can result in lethal pneumonia
even in healthy people. Pregnant women and people who are morbidly obese
are particularly vulnerable, said Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County's
health officer. In 2009, about 203,000 people died worldwide in the swine
flu pandemic.
.
"It can really be a bad actor,'' Cody said. "Everyone is susceptible.''
.
Since flu season began in October, six other cases of severe swine flu and
one case of Flu B in people younger than 65 also have been reported in
Santa Clara County, the state's sixth largest.

Swine flu again poses threat to children, pregnant women

The flu virus that four years ago proved especially deadly to younger
people is back in force this season, prompting health officials to renew
their annual call for the public, particularly children and pregnant
women, to get vaccinated.
.
In an unusual move, the state is even picking up the cost of flu shots for
pregnant Medicaid beneficiaries.
.
The current flu vaccine fights the H1N1 virus, popularly called "swine
flu," the strain that dominated the 2009-2010 season and was blamed for an
estimated 12,470 deaths in the United States.
.
The total number of flu-related deaths that year wasn't especially high in
comparison with other years. But what was different was that most of the
hospitalizations and deaths were in patients under age 64, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That was largely because
younger people had never been exposed to the unusual H1N1 strain, making
immunization even more critical.
.
"Go out there and get the flu shot," said Seyi Omaivboje, an
epidemiologist with the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough
County. "That's still our message."
.
Nationwide, the H1N1 virus has been the dominant strain detected in
laboratories this season for the first time since the 2009-2010 season.
Since October, there have been more than 1,580 confirmed cases of
flu-associated hospitalizations. Six children have died of complications,
according to the CDC.
.
Officials do not track adult deaths from the flu, which makes gauging the
impact difficult. But in Pasco County, two H1N1-related deaths have been
confirmed in recent weeks. One was an unidentified adult man and the other
was 27-year-old Holly Harrelson of Ridge Manor, whose family said she had
otherwise been healthy.
.
Following reports that one pregnant woman in Florida has died and at least
four other pregnant women hospitalized because of flu this season, the
state's Medicaid program has decided to pay for vaccinations for nearly
65,000 pregnant enrollees through the end of March, according to Shelisha
Coleman, spokeswoman for the Agency for Health Care Administration.
.
Pregnant women can be especially vulnerable to the flu. During the
2009-2010 season, the CDC recorded nearly 60 deaths of pregnant women
nationally. In the Tampa Bay area, at least two pregnant women died, a
24-year-old from Citrus County and 22-year-old from Hillsborough.
