A/H1N1 flu death toll reaches 20 in Spain

The A/H1N1 influenza death toll in Spain rose to 20 after three new cases of death were confirmed, the Health Ministry reported Thursday.
   They were a 32-year-old male with morbid obesity in Tarragona, Catalonia, a 33-year-old male from Galicia, the first death in that region, and a 85-year-old male from Seville, who died about a week ago, Xinhua reported.
   Spain's Health Minister Trinidad Jimenez said Thursday that the vaccination against the A/H1N1 flu could start at the end of October or the beginning of November, because by those days the European agency of medicines would have authorized the use of the vaccines after all clinical tests.
