20 deaths reported in Wisconsin
LANCASTER, Wis. (AP) -- The Grant County Health Department has confirmed its first swine flu death.
The department says the victim was an adult with underlying health conditions. It gave no other information on the person.
State Department of Health Services spokesman Seth Boffeli says the H1N1 flu has now contributed to 20 deaths in Wisconsin since spring.
Local doctors and clinics say they're seeing growing frustration among patients denied the vaccine even though they have medical conditions that make them vulnerable.
