Walk in Vaccination Clinics at Tessa Jowell and elsewhere and testing information

[Renata Hamvas]

There are now walk-in Covid-19 vaccination clinics at the Tessa Jowell Centre in Dulwich for over 18s. These are for either first or second vaccinations. The next ones are this Friday 9am-6pm and Sunday 9am-1pm. Pfizer Vaccine at these two clinics.

It also comes up as walk in for 16+ but my son and someone in front of him were turned away 2hrs before end of clinic...Really frustrating as it can be hard getting teenagers to attend...ended up going to Guys...walk-in works well there...

[Renata Hamvas]

Hi Cora,

thanks for the feedback on your son's experience. I will feed this back. This shouldn't have happened as it was a 16+ clinic. I would suggest those under 18 attending if they have ID to bring it to prove eligibility.

COVID-19 tests (PCR tests)

There are three full COVID-19 test sites in Southwark: Bel Air Park car park in Dulwich, Walworth Square on Walworth Road, and Burgess Park car park. There is also an additional mobile testing centre operating from Deal Porter Square, 21 Surrey Quays Rd, Rotherhithe, SE16 7AR.

These test sites are for people who have symptoms of COVID-19 or who have been advised to take a PCR test, for example people who have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. These tests should be booked through the national Test and Trace system at https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or by calling 119 (7am-11pm).

COVID-19 rapid testing (for people who do not have symptoms)

There are two rapid (lateral flow) testing centres in Southwark: at the council building on Bournemouth Road, Peckham, and at London Bridge station (St Thomas street entrance). Residents can also collect tests from local libraries or order tests to be delivered to their homes. Additionally, key workers can also get tested at some local pharmacies. A mobile testing van is also operating in the borough.

People who leave home regularly are encouraged to get tested up to twice a week ? even if you?ve been vaccinated. Tests are free and can be booked here: https://southwark.bookingv.co.uk/, although walk-in tests are usually available.

Support for those having to self-isolate

Residents may be able to apply for financial help if they have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace. More information on who is eligible and how to apply is available on our website https://www.southwark.gov.uk/benefits-and-support/test-and-trace-support-payments

The two teens turned away weren?t because of Id but because they had been told not to take anymore walk-ins...the same people seemed to be doing appointments and walk-ins...but thanks for feeding back. My son is very anxious about needles and usually faints....so he had overcome quite a bit turning up, by the time we got to Guys he had a lot more fear....but glad to say he overcame it and didn?t faint :) - but it?s important that walk-ins are just that ...

[precious star]

Yes, i too was turned away, even though it had said on southwark nhs websit walk-in was from 9am last wednesday. I got there at 9am and me and about 12 others turned away as they said they will run out of vaccine and only seeing the ones with appointments... walk-ins should be just that as some people to even turn up due to anxiety (etc) is a big thing.

My grandson was turned away from King's walk-in a few weeks back as he didn't have an appt. Funnily enough, he then went to Tessa Jowell and got it done there!

I'm not sure from the above whether this particular web page is quickly updated to reflect changes such as temporary shortage of vaccine. So reports here of any more observed disparities could be helpful.
