Panhandle Health District Reports

First Flu Death of the Season
HAYDEN, ID ? Panhandle Health District (PHD) is reporting the state?s first influenzarelated
death for the 2015-2016 flu season. An adult woman from northern Idaho died
due to complications from an influenza infection.
"This tragedy emphasizes that the flu is a serious illness, and now is the time to get
vaccinated if you haven't already," said Dave Hylsky, PHD Staff Epidemiologist. ?The flu
infects 5-20% of Americans, causing over 200,000 hospitalizations and about 30,000
deaths each year.?
There were 32 flu-related deaths in Idaho during last year?s flu season. Eight of those
occurred in Idaho?s five northern counties. Infants, pregnant women, people with chronic
medical conditions and the elderly are especially at-risk for complications associated
with the flu.
