Montgomery County’s first confirmed case of H1N1, or swine flu, contracted it through exposure to an infected 15-year-old Clark County girl during a trip sponsored by a Dayton church, local health officials said Tuesday, June 2.

The 16-year-old Vandalia-Butler High School sophomore, a boy, is recovering at home. The church trip to Kings Island was about one week ago, and involved 14 people. All 14 have been contacted and interviewed by health officials in their respective counties.

Montgomery and Clark county health officials are investigating the relationship of the two cases, and whether any other people on the church trip fell ill, said Diane Van Auker, spokeswoman for the Clark County Combined Health District.

She declined to disclose the name of the Dayton church at the church’s request.
