(WRIC) — Earlier this month we told you about a child in the Chickahominy District who passed away after becoming infected with bacterial meningitis.
Now, we’re sad to report that another child in the same area has passed away due to what health officials suspect to also be bacterial meningitis. That child, along with another child who has just been released from the hospital, became sick during their stay at an area juvenile residential facility in Henrico.
8News anchor Candice Cole sat down with Chesterfield Health District Director Dr. Parham Jaberi about what you should know about this serious medical illness.
