China’s official swine flu death toll has hit 200 with almost all of the deaths recorded in November, the health ministry announced.
A statement posted on the ministry’s website Friday said 194 of the deaths from the influenza A(H1N1) virus had been reported last month. A ministry official quoted Saturday by the Beijing News said cold weather was behind the rapid rise in fatalities.
A total of 92,904 cases of swine flu were reported by the end of November, when China had vaccinated nearly 27 million people, the ministry said. Beijing aims to vaccinate up to 65 million people by the end of the year.
