The Honduran Health Ministry on Wednesday confirmed the third death from the H1N1 Influenza A virus in the Central American country this year. The victim was a female resident in Valle de Angeles, a tourist hamlet in eastern Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, said Bredy Lara, director of the health monitoring department of the ministry. The two previous deaths involved a woman from Haiti and a man from the southern department of Choluteca. A total of 91 H1N1 flu cases -- 51 women and 40 men -- have been confirmed so far in the country, Lara said. Earlier this week, the Honduran Health Ministry launched a campaign to vaccinate more than 700,000 people against the virus. The campaign will last till Nov. 15. Vaccination priority will be given to workers at poultry farms, children aged under five, senior citizens aged above 60 and patients with diabetes or liver diseases, among others. Honduran health authorities said the H1N1 flu first appeared in the country in 2009 and has remained since then.
