Just looked at the current weekly CDC data:
cdc.gov

There were 225 pediatric flu deaths. Of those, 183, or 81% were H1N1, the rest were seasonal or a different sub-type.

There were 79,995 cases of flu reported. Of those, 60,403 were H1N1 cases. So 183/60,403 = 0.30% H1N1 death rate. For the other flu cases, there were 19,592. So 42/19,592 = 0.2% death rate.

As you can see, the H1N1 death rate is 41.3% higher.
