Another Scottish swine flu death

The latest victim had underlying health conditions

Another adult has died after contracting swine flu, the Scottish government has confirmed.

The person, who had underlying health conditions, was from the Borders area and has become the 26th patient to die in Scotland in relation to the virus.

Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "It is with regret I have to announce another death."

She insisted the vast majority of patients would experience only mild symptoms and make a full recovery.

However, she urged anyone in the designated priority groups to be vaccinated against the virus.
