蒙大拿州黄石县公共卫生机构 Riverstone Health 与蒙大拿州公共卫生与公众服务部11月8日证实，黄石县已有两名居民死于流感，这是本流感季该县首批流感死亡病例。两名死者均于10月去世，分别为一名70多岁的男性和一名90多岁的女性，两人本季均未接种流感疫苗。

美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）目前将蒙大拿州的呼吸道疾病活动水平列为「非常低」，但同时指出流感和新冠病例数正在增长。
Two Flu Deaths Reported in Montana's Yellowstone County, the County's First This Season
BILLINGS, Mont. — Riverstone Health and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services confirmed on November 8 that two residents of Yellowstone County, Montana, have died of the flu, the county's first flu deaths of the season. Both died in October — a man in his 70s and a woman in her 90s — and neither had received this season's flu vaccine.
Since the respiratory illness season began on October 4, Yellowstone County has reported 119 flu cases. Statewide, Montana health officials are tracking 76 flu hospitalizations and three flu deaths. Riverstone Health said flu may seem routine but can become severe and life-threatening for older adults and other vulnerable people.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently rates Montana's respiratory illness activity level as "very low," while noting that flu and COVID-19 case counts are rising.
