'My daughter caught meningitis from sharing a vape on a night out'
A mother warns of the dangers of sharing vapes after her daughter contracted meningitis B following a night out in Canterbury.Summary
A mother, Khali Goodwin, is raising awareness about the risks of sharing vapes after her 21-year-old daughter, Keeleigh, was hospitalized with Meningitis B. Keeleigh developed severe symptoms – a high fever, chills, vomiting, and a headache – after a night out in Canterbury and was discovered seriously ill by her housemate. Despite having received routine meningitis vaccinations, Keeleigh contracted Meningitis B, a strain not covered by the teenage vaccine. Her mother believes sharing a vape device with friends may have been the source of the infection, as health experts confirm that close contact and sharing objects like vapes can transmit the bacteria that causes meningitis. Keeleigh is recovering in hospital, and public health officials are monitoring the situation, advising those who visited a Canterbury nightclub in March to seek medical advice.
