Private clinic for flu jabs in East Dulwich area?


Recommended Posts

Boots normally offer them, but unprecedented take-up (can't think why) has led to shortages and suspension of their service. I suspect if you wait a bit they will become available again. Anyone in a vulnerable (age/ underlying condition/ caring responsibility) category should have been offered one through the NHS.

Flu jabs can lose their efficacy over time, so having them in November (before the hardest hitting time) coukd actually be a benefit. Social distancing and masks are likely to keep down infection rates anyway. Superdrug has a booking facility for the branches offering vaccinations. Streatham is nearest. Good luck

Flu jabs can lose their efficacy over time


However, they also take 1-2 weeks to become fully effective - so you do need to get the timing right. 'December to March' is seen as the season, although it can start as early as October.https://www.bupa.co.uk/health-information/childrens-health/flu#:~:text=Seasonal%20flu%20(influenza)%20is%20an,and%20as%20late%20as%20May.


However it is to be hoped that mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing may reduce the incidence - so it's an ill wind...

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
