A Bicester teenager who was left fighting for her life after taking the swine flu drug Tamiflu is on the road to recovery.

A spokesman for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital confirmed Samantha Millard, 18, of Purslane Drive, Bicester, was in a stable state, and improving all the time.

Samantha was left with blisters all over her body and severe breathing difficulties after being prescribed the drug by the Government’s swine flu helpline earlier this month.
