Florida has become the fifth state to see a death from the meningitis outbreak.
A seventy year old man, who had died in July, was confirmed as the twelfth death.
One hundred and nineteen people are currently sick, in nine states.
As many as thirteen thousand people, in twenty-three states, may have been infected by the disease.
Doctors, health officials, and emergency responders are continuing their lookout for people who may have gotten the disease, from steroid injections they received.
New England Compounding Center, which manufactured the injections, is
doing everything it can to aid the government in it's investigation.
They handed over their operation licenses and voluntarily recalled
all of their other products as well, last week.
