Michael Kenny’s daughter Juliette, a sixth-former at a school in Kent, died one day after showing symptoms
The father of an 18-year-old school pupil who died after the meningitis outbreak in Kent said his family’s devastation is “immeasurable” as he called for better protection for young people.
Juliette Kenny died last Saturday, one day after first showing symptoms of vomiting and discoloration in her cheeks, her father, Michael Kenny, said.
He said his daughter had been “fit, healthy and strong” and had completed the practical assessment for her PE A-level two days prior to her death.
Juliette Kenny, a sixth-form pupil at Queen Elizabeth’s grammar school in Faversham, is one of two students to have died after the outbreak of meningitis B in the county.
