ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Croatia's health minister says a 3-year-old girl who had acute leukemia caught swine flu and died. She is the country's second swine flu fatality.
Darko Milinovic, said Tuesday the girl, who was not identified, died in Split, in southern Croatia.
Croatia recorded its first swine flu death last week, a 61-year-old man.
Milinovic says Croatia has so far confirmed about 1,500 swine flu cases. He says the vaccination will be available as of next month.
