A total of 110 people have died in connection with the new flu in Hungary so far, a quarter of whom were in good health before contracting the virus, the chief medical officer told reporters on Monday.
Five of those who died were pregnant women, none of them had been vaccinated against the H1N1 virus, said Ferenc Falus.
Currently 11 pregnant women are treated in hospital, one of them is breathing with the help of a machine, he added.
Of the around 80,000 pregnant women 17 percent had chosen to get vaccinated against the virus, Falus said.
He said the first wave of the new flu pandemic was over, but expected a new wave to come some time in the spring.
By the first week of January around 30 percent of Hungarians were vaccinated against the virus, Falus said earlier.
