Kentucky Reports Second H1N1 Case
KENTUCKY....
Health Department officials confirm that a Fayette County 2-week-old has the flu. It's the second confirmed case in Kentucky this fall. Both confirmed cases have been H1N1 in Fayette County residents.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get a flu shot, which covers both the seasonal and H1N1 strains of the flu. Because young babies are not able to get a shot, health officials urge pregnant women to get one to stay safe. Officials say children between two weeks and nine years old are especially vulnerable to the current outbreak.
