The autopsy on 32-year-old Justin Chircop, the fourth victim of A H1N1 in Malta, has confirmed that he died from the infection.

The health authorities said in a statement results showed that Mr Chircop, whose funeral was this morning, did not suffer from any illness which could have aggravated the situation. As is usually done following autopsies, more tests are being carried out.

The health authorities said that since the arrival of the first A H1N1 vaccines, 741 health professionals had been vaccinated.

People suffering from chronic illnesses and pregnant women will be vaccinated as from Saturday. People going for the jab should take with them their identity card, the yellow card or a doctor’s reference.

More information can be obtained from 2132 4086.
