<p>Twelve more people have died from confirmed flu in the past week, taking the death toll to 39, according to the latest UK figures.</p>
<p>Data from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) shows 39 people have died with flu since October, including 36 with swine flu and three with another strain, flu type B.</p>
<p>All except one case were under 65 years of age and four were under the age of five.</p>
<p>The latest figures come after it was announced on Wednesday that cases of flu rose by more than 40% last week.</p>
<p>The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) reported that incidences of flu in England and Wales reached 124 per 100,000 of the population in the week ending December 26.</p>
<p>There were 86 per 100,000 cases in the previous week.</p>
<p>There has been a general increase across all age ranges apart from children, with the middle-aged being particularly badly hit.</p>
<p>Professor John Watson, head of the respiratory diseases department at the HPA, said: &#8220;We are seeing a large amount of flu circulating across the country and would urge those people in an at-risk group to have their seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible as this is the best way to protect themselves from flu this winter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone who has symptoms of flu-like illness should get medical advice as soon as possible and their GP will prescribe antivirals to reduce their symptoms and lessen the risk of them developing complications.</p>
<p>&#8220;Although there were reports of many people during the pandemic only experiencing mild disease we can&#8217;t stress enough that flu can be an extremely serious illness for people in &#8216;at risk&#8217; groups, including pregnant women, the elderly and those with other underlying conditions such as heart problems, diabetes, lung, liver or renal diseases and those who have weakened immune systems.&#8221;</p>
