BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ State public health officials say that swine
flu is to blame for the death of a man from Bonneville County in
eastern Idaho.

They also say the virus, referred by scientists as H1N1, is
suspected in the deaths of two others, a teenager and woman in her
50s, both from Bonneville County.

Tests show the virus was the cause of death in a man in his 60s.
It's the first confirmed in eastern Idaho and the fifth overall in
Idaho.

The victim was in his 60s and public health officials say he had
no other underlying medical conditions.

Medical providers in the Eastern Idaho Public Health District
will begin holding vaccination clinics for swine flu this week.
