Khali Goodwin fears her daughter, Keeleigh Goodwin, contracted meningitis after visiting Club Chemistry in Canterbury and sharing a vape with a friend. Keeleigh was hospitalized on Saturday night with symptoms including a severe headache, vomiting, and a stiff body. She has been diagnosed with meningitis B, a strain not covered by the routine teenage vaccination. Health officials advise anyone who visited the club between March 5th and 7th, 2026, to seek preventative antibiotic treatment. While health bodies don't list vaping as a transmission route, the mother believes sharing vapes played a role in the infection, and Keeleigh is now 'petrified' and unsure if she will go out again.
