NEW YORK, NY June 12, 2009 —Health officials are at a Brooklyn public school today to answer questions from worried parents and staff, following the death of a student due to the H1N1 virus.
The 11-year-old girl's death was one of three reported by the city's health department yesterday. The total number of city swine flu deaths is now at 15.
