The flu continues to roll across the state, vaccine remains in tight supply and two more Kentuckians have died of the H1N1 virus, state health officials said Friday.
An 80-year-old woman in Knox County and a 40-year-old man who was an inmate at the Kentucky State Reformatory in Oldham County are the latest deaths.
Dr. William Hacker, the commissioner for public health, said the inmate had not been part of the general population for some time and had been receiving medical treatment away from the prison.
Both people had underlying medical conditions that contributed to their deaths.
So far, 10 Kentuckians have died of H1N1.
