I had an appointment at TJ this morning for my 2nd Pfizer vaccine and arrived to be told they had run out. Rescheduled for next Sunday but if anyone has an appointment in the next couple of days, it might be worth checking before leaving home.

That's interesting as they said on Friday that the numbers would be there to match those already booked in for their second to ensure second jabs were catered for.

This was advised after my enquiry on how one goes about finding a place that offers the Pfizer as an alternate for 1st jab.

I don't think they had just run out as the receptionist asked if I'd received a text. The centre was extremely quiet with a few in the same boat as me and a few getting their Astrazeneca vaccine. for me, it's no big deal having to return next Sunday but I imagine for some who have mobility issues or need to organise childcare, it'd be good just to check. I'm hopeful they will have sufficient supplies in

I overheard on Friday that TJC will be getting Pfizer again from the 16th.

I wouldn't worry. I had to go to the Oval, Kennington to get my first jab on the 12th February and didn't get any info about second jab. Lo and behold I got a text recently to book my second jab and now have to go to the Oval this Wednesday. A two bus journey but as a carer I'm used to travelling on buses anyway so I can't wait.

Just a head's up.


A friend was in the same queue as myself for the first jab. She has today had her second. I didn't have a date for the 2nd.


Basically, I rang my GP DMC Crystal Palace Road, and they assured me it wasn't the GP sending out the notification text. My friend had told me not to be fobbed off so I carried on asking, and lo and behold, the surgery sent me the booking link and I'm having it tomorrow!

does anyone know the effects of unavoidably delayed 2nd vaccination?


First injection AZ seems to have a long shelf life, getting 'better' over months - locally they are aiming for 11 weeks, although 12 is set as a national standard and some suggest longer would still be OK. I think the Pfizer effect doesn't get much better over time - after the initial 2-3 weeks - (but neither does the effect seem to dissipate that quickly). Take advice, if you can get it, from your GP - but don't over worry - I doubt if 2 or 3 weeks over your original date will make that much difference.

This thread has reassured me, I?m also waiting for my text for the second Jab to come through. Everyone I know booked their first and second at the same time. It will be 10 weeks next week so hopefully the text will come that week. The cancellations on pfeizer is a worry though. Fingers crossed it will get sorted but it?s hard to relax.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      By the fruity dj · Posted

      Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you.

      Fabulous Electrician Paul Edgley

      By George Wilson · Posted

      Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
