District reports three more H1N1-related deaths

The Southern Nevada Health District is reporting three additional H1N1-related deaths for the week ending December 19.

The patients were a 38-year-old woman, a 42-year-old man, and a 53-year-old man, each of whom had underlying medical conditions, the district said in a release. One death occurred in early November and was reported to the health district last week.

This puts the total swine flu-related deaths for the year at 35 in Clark County.

To date, the health district has received 152,100 doses of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine, some of which has been distributed to private providers. More than 360,000 doses have been delivered to private providers in Clark County by the Nevada State Health Division. The health district has administered more than 95,600 doses since October.
