"Unfortunately we see many deaths, hospitalizations and other serious complications of flu each year in SC", said DHEC Immunization Medical Consultant Dr. Teresa Foo.

The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) say the state has suffered its first flu-associated death of the season.

Officials did not release the identity of the person deceased from the flu-like complications or where in SC the person was from.

The people at greatest risk for life-threatening flu complications are young children, pregnant women, people 65 years or older, and those with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart and lung disease.

But Foo warned that even healthy people can develop serious complications from the flu.

Officials recommend that everyone older than six months get a flu vaccine each year. "It is the best way to prevent the flu".

While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

Wash your hands often with soap and water.

During the last flu season, 94 South Carolinians died from the flu.
