OLYMPIA — A 23-year-old woman in Thurston County recently died from complications related to the flu, county health officials said Wednesday.
“Healthy young woman, no risk factors, gets sick for a couple of days. She gets better, then all of a sudden gets worse again. Next thing you know she is gone,” said Thurston County health officer Dr. Diana Yu.
“This young woman’s death is a sad reminder that the flu must be taken seriously,” said Yu. “We’re encouraging unvaccinated people of all ages to talk to their doctor about getting a flu vaccine. It’s not too late to get vaccinated.”
...So far this season, 28 flu-related deaths have occurred in Washington, the Thurston County health officials said.
