Swine flu deaths hit 35; more vaccine available

(AP) — The state Department of Health and Hospitals says two men died last week from swine flu complications, bringing the total number of swine flu-related deaths in Louisiana to 35.

Health officials said Monday one of the victims lived in the 11-parish area that includes Monroe, and the other victim in the five-parish area that includes Lake Charles.
