Does anyone know how important it is to have the meningitis jab before starting uni?
I heard its best to get it done at least 2 weeks before starting uni and that you just needed to make an appointment at your GP surgery for it, which I did, but when I got there the nurse refused me it. She asked me who had told me I had to have it and that she wouldn't give it to me unless I had a letter from my university saying that I had to have it. All the info I've found online has suggested you just make an appointment and go and get it done, but apparently in my case I need proof? This seems ridiculous and I'm wondering if this is normal or if it's been made to be a bigger deal than it is? The nurse genuinely seemed not at all bothered about me going to uni without being vaccinated against this so is it that huge an issue?
