@CotswoldsQC She is 9 months old, meaning that she is not old enough to have completed the full course of childhood immunisations. Immunisations are delivered in stages at different age milestones, you're not "fully vaccinated" until pre-school age.

@JENDELLA The baby girl, fighting for her life in a London hospital was vaccinated.

Babies born 2015 and later in the UK will have had Meningitis B vaccinations as part of their standard course of immunisations. Check your kids' red book if you're unsure, but if you kept on top of their imms, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. 🙏🏽

@JENDELLA You might as well, and get your NIN there.

Will I ever get my NIN in this lifetime or...? Thinking I should just travel to Naij on an expired passport and call it day.

working on a laptop outside is an abysmal experience

After it happened, the driver had to walk through a train of moaning, impatient commuters and manually open each carriage doors to let us off. The traumatised look on his face has stuck with me ever since and still makes me want to cry. Give them whatever they are asking for.
