Sacramento县报告本季首例流感死亡：50多岁女子未接种疫苗、患基础慢性病
位于加利福尼亚州 Sacramento 县的县公共卫生局（SCPH）11月4日确认，该县出现2026-27流感季首例流感相关死亡。死者是一名50多岁的女子，患有基础慢性疾病，生前没有接种流感疫苗。
县公共卫生局说，这名女子10月中旬出现呼吸道症状，随后被确诊为甲型流感，住院数日后死亡。县方没有公布她的姓名与所患慢性病的具体情况。
本季首例流感死亡的报告时间比上季早了约一个月，上季首例是在2025年11月下旬报告的。县卫生官 Phuong Luu 医生说，这是一个严峻的提醒，流感可以引发重症甚至死亡，而接种疫苗仍是最好的防护手段；她说，目前流感在加州的传播水平很高，6个月及以上的所有人都应现在就接种流感疫苗。
县公共卫生局说，居民可以前往该局开设的2026-27季免费流感疫苗诊所接种，也可以经 HealthMap 疫苗查找工具寻找附近的接种点，或联系该局的免疫协助计划了解详情。县方同时列出防护要点：出现呼吸道症状时居家休息，检测流感与新冠，勤洗手，咳嗽打喷嚏时遮掩口鼻，并保持室内通风。

Sacramento County Reports First Flu Death of Season: Unvaccinated Woman in Her 50s With Chronic Conditions
Sacramento County Public Health (SCPH), in Sacramento County, California, confirmed on November 4 the county's first flu-related death of the 2026-27 flu season. The death involved a woman in her 50s with underlying chronic medical conditions who was not vaccinated against the flu.
The woman developed respiratory symptoms in mid-October and was diagnosed with Influenza A. She was hospitalized a few days later and died shortly after, the county said. Officials did not release her name or specify her chronic conditions.
This season's first reported flu death came about a month earlier than last year's, which was reported in late November 2025. County Public Health Officer Dr. Phuong Luu called it a stark reminder that flu can cause serious illness and death, and that vaccination remains the best defense, noting that flu is circulating very high in California and that everyone aged 6 months and older should get vaccinated now.
Residents can drop into one of SCPH's free flu vaccine clinics for the 2026-27 season, use the HealthMap Vaccine Finder to locate a clinic, or contact the county's Immunization Assistance Program, the county said. Its prevention tips include staying home when sick, testing for COVID-19 and flu, washing hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes, and ventilating indoor spaces.
