Meningitis outbreak

I’m freaking out a bit

DD has been here all day after travelling from uni yesterday. Her housemate is really poorly and now I’ve just seen the news about the meningitis outbreak at her uni.

Her housemate is in the house on her own now - I’ve told DD to call the uni and let them know. Worried that DD has been here with us all day in case she gets sick

My first port of call is always twitter. That can be effective.

Still no sign of a refund, does anyone know the process for complaining before I slate them on social media?

I got my refund from Boots almost 10 working days after cancelling

I had booked for two children and was only refunded for one of them. If I didn’t keep such an eagle eye on my bank account I would e missed it. I eventually got through to a phone line but even then they ‘couldn’t find’ my booking so still awaiting a refund. Wouldn’t recommend boots.

We had our original Boots appt yesterday and both were done. Pharmacist said they have stock but that it was luck as they had a large order come in straight after it happened so they were able to satisfy booked demand but arent tak8ng new bookings at the moment. He said the manufacturer is ramping up production but that it is still showing as red and he can't currently order any more.

It didn’t. The article confirms its a different sub strain.
