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.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By beansprout · Posted

      Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl…

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.

      I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
