💨 Abstract
Juliette Kenny, an 18-year-old student, died from the meningococcal B infection in Kent. She was healthy and active until symptoms appeared on March 13, and she passed away the next day. Her father, Michael Kenny, described her brave fight against the disease. The family is advocating for better access to menB vaccinations. The outbreak has led to a surge in demand for antibiotics and vaccines in Kent.
