San Francisco reports first flu deaths of the season, cases rise in California

Two adults in San Francisco have died of the flu, city health officials said.

The deaths, announced by the San Francisco Department of Health Friday, mark the city’s first flu fatalities of the winter respiratory virus season.

Public health officials also are strongly encouraging the flu vaccine this season.

It wasn’t immediately known what strain of the flu the victims had, but state officials have recently said the “super flu,” a strain that appears to last longer and is very contagious, is spreading across the state.
