Are there H1N1 (swine flu) cases in Washington?
Yes, there are confirmed cases in Washington State and several deaths have been attributed to H1N1. Our department currently tracks the number of hospitalizations and deaths in our state attributed to influenza-like illness, rather than H1N1 alone, and updates them on our Web site on Friday. These statistics can be found on the Department of Health Web site at www.doh.wa.gov/h1n1.
