About 5 people at my school have had it within the past month. I thought I'd be OK because I was pretty sure I'd been vaccinated as a kid.
So on Thursday I was talking to one of the guys who was off sick with it about how the school was going to quarantine him for the exam we both had on Friday and how it was all a bit weird. That evening my left jaw suddenly swelled up. Anyway the school wouldn't let me anywhere near the premises on Friday morning to do my A-Level Maths Mechanics 2 module, which was a bit ridiculous (I don't see why they couldn't have just shoved me in the same room as the other guy that was being quarantined?).
I've been doing some research and it looks like there have been weird outbreaks all over the country (see
BBC News) at Universities, and schools in some areas have been offering free boosters for those at risk since like November.
Obviously they haven't been doing enough. Anyway, I don't know if this applies to any of you but if you're 16-25 in the UK and you're at all dubious about whether or not you've had 2 doses of the vaccine (or even if you think you probably have - I'm fairly sure I've had at least one and possibly two), I sincerely suggest you contact your GP.
I'm scheduled for a blood test tomorrow because they want to know what's going on. I love the NHS
