Vaccination plea after swine flu deaths hit 37
TWO more people have died after contracting swine flu, bringing the total number of H1N1 related deaths in Scotland to 37.
One of the adults was from the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area and had underlying health problems. The other was from NHS Dumfries and Galloway and also had underlying health problems.
Health officials urged those in priority groups to be vaccinated against the illness. NHS Scotland has received just under 550,000 doses of vaccine, about 40% of the total required for the 1.3 million people in priority groups. Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "I urge everyone who is in the priority groups to accept the vaccine when invited to do so."
