Michelle asked:


I am due to travel to mexico (starting in mexico city and finishing in cancun) at the beginning of June, should I go ahead because the flights (american airlines) and the tour (contiki) have not yet been cancelled therefore I would not be able to get a refund. I also have not yet got travel insurance, if the flights and tour cancels will I get a refund? I booked through STA travel and they are ATOL protected. I have contacted STA and they are giving me very little info!

PLease please help as I am really worried!
Also do you think doctors would prescribe me tamiflu as a preventative medication or is there anywere I could buy it?

And I spoke to a doctor and a pharmacist who both advised AGAINST travelling to mexico
Thanks everyone for your answers! I really REALLY want to go to Mexico! As for the tamiflu I was thinking of taking it while I was over there eg. start the course when I leave Mexico City, so that if I am infected that I have the best possible chances as the meds are most effective within 48 hours of contamination. I know that it would be silly to take them a week or 2 before because its not a vacinne..
