北卡罗来纳州通报2026-27流感季首例死亡，卫生厅吁接种疫苗
据路透社10月8日报道，北卡罗来纳州卫生官员周四通报了2026-27流感季首例流感死亡病例。
州卫生与公众服务厅表示，该州中部一名成年人在10月第一周死于流感并发症。为保护家属隐私，未公布更多细节。
厅长德夫·桑维表示：“这是一个令人心碎的提醒：流感可能是严重的疾病。”
上一个流感季是近年来最致命的之一：北卡罗来纳州335人死于流感，包括10名儿童，为2009年开始广泛报告以来的第三高。卫生官员敦促6个月以上人群每年接种流感疫苗，并考虑接种新冠和RSV疫苗。
North Carolina Reports First Flu Death of 2026-27 Season in Central NC Adult
North Carolina health officials on Thursday reported the first flu death of the 2026-27 influenza season, Reuters reported on October 8.
The state Department of Health and Human Services said an adult in central North Carolina died from flu complications during the first week of October. No further details were released to protect the family's privacy.
"This is a heartbreaking reminder that flu can be a serious illness," said Dr. Dev Sangvai, the department's secretary.
Last season was one of the deadliest in recent memory: 335 North Carolinians died of flu, including 10 children — the third-highest toll since widespread reporting began in 2009. Health officials urge everyone 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine each year and to consider COVID-19 and RSV vaccines as well.
