This is the third week in a row that the MMWR has listed two influenza-associated pediatric deaths that the footnotes indicate occurred prior to October 2, 2011. This just seems very odd to me and makes me wonder whether California is just late in gettting their data to the CDC or whether these six children died from an influenza strain that could not be easily identified.

The two deaths from week 47 were also noted in the Iowa report

I neglected to mention that the six I was referring to are all from California, so the Iowa deaths would make 8. That's a pretty long delay.

IA was referring to CA.
