CONCORD, N.H. -

It's a deadly flu season in New Hampshire.

Granite State health officials say the flu has claimed 16 lives so far. They say all 16 of them were adults.

But the state says they may not have occurred in the past few days because they learn about flu-related deaths through electronically filed death certificates.

The 2012 flu season claimed 19 lives.
