Press release from the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health:<\/p>\n

Health officials confirm first H1N1 death in Allen County<\/strong>
\nVaccine available Monday at Carew<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A middle-aged woman who died this week from complications of influenza-like illness is the first death from H1N1 in Allen County.<\/p>\n

Laboratory testing confirmed today the cause of death as related to H1N1 flu. Health officials will not be releasing any other information about the individual for confidentiality reasons.<\/p>\n

This would be the 12th confirmed H1N1 flu-related death in Indiana since June.<\/p>\n

“Our sympathy goes out to the family,” says Allen County Health Commissioner Dr. Deborah McMahan.<\/p>\n

“We know that in most cases, the flu is a mild illness. But this death is a reminder that H1N1 flu, just like seasonal influenza, can be a life-threatening disease.”<\/p>\n

The health department will be holding a public vaccination clinic at Carew Medical Park on Monday, Nov. 2 from 2 to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

For now, the H1N1 injectable vaccine offered at Carew is being reserved for pregnant women, caregivers of children less than 6 months, and children six months through 18 years of age. The H1N1 nasal spray vaccine will also be available for healthy children and young adults (2 years – 24 years) and for people who live with or provide care to infants less than six months of age.<\/p>\n

The department will also offer an H1N1 vaccine clinic for pregnant women on Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. The vaccine does not contain thimerosal.<\/p>\n

More than 9,200 people have been vaccinated for H1N1 flu since the clinic opened on Oct. 9. The vaccine is free. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.<\/p>\n

Anyone experiencing symptoms of influenza should stay home and contact a health care provider. People can also limit the spread of flu by covering their cough and washing their hands.<\/p>\n
