<p>Two young children with swine flu have died in Northern Ireland.</p>
<p>The death of a 10-month-old baby boy was announced just hours after the authorities said a two-year-old boy with the virus had died.</p>
<p>The baby had underlying health problems.</p>
<p>It is not known if the two-year-old, who was from the Republic of Ireland, was also suffering from another condition as his family have asked for those details to remain private.</p>
<p>The death takes to 19 the confirmed number of people with the H1N1 virus who have died in Northern Ireland this flu season.</p>
<p>Health Minister Michael McGimpsey expressed his sympathies to the family of the latest young victim, who was from Northern Ireland.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is tragic news and my thoughts and sympathies are with the family of this baby at this very sad and difficult time,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The minister had earlier passed his condolences to the family of the two-year-old boy.</p>
<p>The fatalities will put further pressure on the authorities to re-think the policy decision not to vaccinate all under-fives against the virus, something which was done last year. Only infants in &#8216;at-risk&#8217; health categories are being vaccinated.</p>
<p>But after the death of the two-year-old was announced, Mr McGimpsey said medical advisers remained of the opinion that the vaccination programme should not be extended.</p>
