Arkansas News Bureau
LITTLE ROCK ? The number of Arkansans who have died from swine flu has risen to 13, a state Health Department spokesman said today.
.
The news comes on the heels of an announcement Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the national death toll from the H1N1 virus has passed 1,000.
State Health Department spokesman Ed Barham said he could not release the names, ages or locations of any of the victims in Arkansas.
Because of limited supplies, only three groups of people will be eligible to receive the swine flu vaccine at mass clinics across Arkansas this week: Pregnant women, children ages 6 months to 4 years and children ages 5-18 with underlying health conditions. Season flu vaccine will be available to all at the clinics.
A schedule of the clinics is available here.
