A 47-year-old man from Ar'ara in the Negev died on Wednesday from influenza at Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva. He had been hospitalized for the past week. The man, who had not been vaccinated against the flu, developed initial symptoms after returning from a visit to Saudi Arabia. His condition deteriorated on Wednesday, and he was placed on an ECMO machine before he was pronounced dead.
Earlier this year, a two-month-old infant from northern Israel died from influenza. The article also notes a shortage of nurses contributing to lower flu vaccination rates for children in peripheral areas and a recommendation for the general population to get vaccinated due to a surge in illness.
