A 23 year old man is the latest Dallas County resident to die of complications from the swine flu. His passing marks the 16th such death in the county. Meanwhile thousands of county residents have gotten free shots this week.
Since Wednesday, more than 9000 uninsured and at risk people have been inoculated at the county's first mass clinic. Health director Zach Thompson says they started with 10 thousand doses and are waiting on a lot more. The additional 18,000 may be coming in the next couple weeks.
Thompson says they still have a thousand doses from their original order and may distribute those money.
