Ravalli County reports its first confirmed death related to the H1N1 flu, marking the tenth death in Montana.

Ravalli County health officials would only say the person is from Ravalli County and was in a high risk category for the disease.

Public Health Director Judy Griffin declined to release the victim's name or other information citing federal privacy laws.

There will be another free walk in vaccination clinic Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for high risk groups. The clinic is at the First Interstate Center at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds in Hamilton.

The high risk groups include pregnant women, people ages 6 months to 24 years, caregivers for children under 6 months of age, health care workers and first responders and people ages 25 to 64 with a chronic illness.
