ST. LOUIS (KMOX) -- It has been one year since the first H1N1 flu death in Mexico.
So how has Missouri handled the swine flu over the past twelve months?
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has confirmed 8 deaths in which the H1N1 flu virus was identified as a contributing factor.
"We know of 9 other deaths in which the flu was involved, but the virus was never confirmed by laboratory testing to be the H1N1 virus," said department spokesman Kit Wagar. "However, because the H1N1 flu is the dominant flu virus throughout the nation, these 9 deaths are probably associated with H1N1."
