January 6th, 2011 - 2:10 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattMerseyside, Jan 5 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A British teenager who was amongst a group of singers who won a reality TV show in Britain has died. Olivia Rae Clee-Barnett died of swine flu.
Olivia, who was also an asthma patient became the sixth person to die of the disease at the Merseyside. Her family and friends including her fans did set a Facebook page for her memorial and several condolence messages poured in.
Olivia was said to be very keen on singing and acting. With her exceptionally good looks, many believed that it was just a matter of time before she became a star. That will not happen now.
That is the reason why the debate on whether under-18 years olds should be given the H1N1 flu vaccine or not, has started. It is reported that many parents are buying the drugs and administering it to their under 18-year-old children but many pharmaceutical shops do not want to risk it. UK’s health authorities have insisted that it is alright to give the vaccine to under-18-year-old but the pharmacy shops do not want to have any of that.
With school set to reopen pretty soon, the Department of Health is concerned that more children might fall catch the flu.
