9 more H1N1-related deaths were reported in Colorado last week, bringing the total number to 34.
14 of those 34 deaths were people between the ages of 25-49. 7 of the total number of deaths were children under the age of 18.
So far, approximately 1500 people have been hospitalized in Colorado due to the flu.
Nationwide, according to the CDC, the highest hospitalization rate is for children between the ages of 0-4.
In addition, 22 flu-related pediatric deaths were reported this week; 19 of these deaths were confirmed 2009 H1N1, and three were influenza A viruses, but were not subtyped. Since April 2009, CDC has received reports of 114 laboratory-confirmed pediatric 2009 H1N1 deaths and another 12 pediatric deaths that were laboratory confirmed as influenza, but where the flu virus subtype was not determined.
