Minister of Health, Terrence Deyalsingh, is appealing to citizens to get the Influenza Vaccine to prevent possible hospitalisation or even death during the Flu season - which runs from October to May. He also recently stated that at least ten (10) patients are currently being treated for Swine Flu (H1N1) in T&T.
Officials from the Health Ministry confirmed that three (3) persons have died from Swine Flu in T&T. According to Guardian Media, Nicole Seecharan (47) from Tabaquite died from Swine Flu in December, but her family members were not told of her true cause of death until days later. See statements below by Nicole’s sister, Camilla, during an interview with Guardian Media and continue reading for more information. They never told us that because even when Nicole died there that morning and they allowed us to go to visit and I hold her and hug her and cried. They didn’t tell me don’t go near her. Don’t touch the patient. They did not do that.
Director of Women's Health at the Ministry, Dr. Adesh Sirjusingh, is down-playing any cause for public alarm and is reminding citizens that we are in the Flu season.
