PITTSBURGH -- State health officials said a Pittsburgh-area man with swine flu has died.

Channel 11 News spoke with Stacy Kreideman from the state Health Department Tuesday evening, who said the 27-year-old man died several weeks ago.

"He passed away from complications with the swine flu," said Kreideman.

His name wasn't released.

This marks the first confirmed death in Allegheny County and the region. More than 300 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in western Pennsylvania this year.

The local death comes as U.S. health officials ordered more swine flu vaccine this week, bringing the nation's eventual total to 251 million doses.

The government ordered an extra 27.3 million doses from Sanofi Pasteur of France, which produces flu shots at its Swiftwater, Pa., factory. It also ordered 29 million more doses of the nasal-spray version of swine flu vaccine, MedImmune LLC's FluMist.

While people 10 and older are protected by one dose of swine flu vaccine, children 9 and younger almost certainly will need two.
