INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana health officials say the number of flu-related
deaths in the state has reached 21.
The Indiana
State Department of Health reported the updated number Monday. It says two
of the deaths have occurred in individuals younger than 18.
The agency say
no official shortages of the influenza vaccine have been reported, but some
people might find it more difficult to find the vaccine because of high
demand. It says a vaccine locator can be found at www.Flu.gov and that the
vaccine typically can be found at local health departments, pharmacies and
with health care providers. Vaccinations are recommended for anyone 6 months
old or older.
