Hugo Templeton, an 18-year-old computer science student, said: “I came here today because a girl at my school – Burford School – got meningitis, and she’s OK, but that caused a bit of a craze around the school and the area.
“Everyone started getting their jabs… so I wanted to get mine as soon as I could and because it’s so accessible here I just thought this would be the best place to start.”
Connor Dalton,18, studying physical geography, said: “I’ve just come here to make sure that I’m protected, and that my time at uni is safe, and I can enjoy myself.”
He added: “It’s a very scary thought to have to think about knowing that you can come to uni, pick up this disease, and potentially die from it… so getting the jab has just put me in a much safer place really.”
Hawa Diallo, a first-year biomedical science student, said: “I actually found out about it because someone that I was sat next to told me… I decided on the spur of the moment to come along.”
She added: “I just figured, you know, I’m in a new space with lots of people, it wouldn’t hurt to have extra protection.”
