Jerome Kunkel, 18, sued the Northern Kentucky Health Department for banning unvaccinated students from school amid a chickenpox outbreak in March. Two months later, he has caught the contagious disease.
A Kentucky teenager who sued the Northern Kentucky Health Department after was banned from school for refusing chickenpox vaccination amid an outbreak, has now caught chickenpox.
During the time of the outbreak, which has affected more than 100 students, the Northern Kentucky Health Department issued a warning:"All students without proof of vaccination or proof of immunity against chickenpox will not be allowed to attend school until 21 days after the onset of rash for the last ill student or staff member."
Kunkel has not attended school since March 15. However, after he recovers from the illness, he will be immune and can return back to school.
