SE22 flu jab notifications

[Nigello]

Has anyone had one yet? Please reply with your GP surgery name.

I?ve not ? DMC.

Day Lewis Pharmacy, Forest Hill Road.

[Nigello]

I don?t understand - you?re not referring to a GP surgery which usually texts or phones you with an invitation if you?re in a certain category of patient.

Day Lewis directly contacted those it issues prescriptions to, mainly I'm guessing from the Forest Hill Road Group practice. They (the practice) also directly contacted me and I had the flu jab yesterday.

[another annie]

Yes, Forest Hill Road GP texted me yesterday and I have an appointment next week, they had lots of dates available. Was very well organised and easy last year. I'm also having the pneumococcal? jab at the same appointment, so two aching arms...?

[beejay]

Yes, Forest Hill Road sent me text yesterday and i had jab yesterday afternoon.

[BrandNewGuy]

FHR texted me today too...

SE15 ~ had a text from Day Lewis on Bellenden a few weeks ago.

[lilolil]

I had mine today at FHGP

Depends which brand the surgery has ordered. If Seqirus delivery is delayed due to HGV driver shortage.

Our GP surgery expects the Flu vaccine in the next couple of weeks.

[Nigello]

[Nigello]

I rang Day Lewis on F Hill Rd.,was asked to come in, and just had it done. Thanks

[Soylent Green]

Anyone heard from The Gardens? I am still waiting notification...

[Nigello]

Nothing yet from DMC, weeks after some people at other surgeries have got their jabs. Walk ins at bigger branches of Boots and Sainsbury's, etc. may be an option or the Day Lewis on F H Road, where I saw three other people get theirs as walk ins when I was there.

[heartblock]

Day Lewis at the ED Grove health centre as asthmatic ...must book it soon, thank you for reminding me.

[singalto]

FHRGP sent me a text and I?m having my jab tomorrow.

[Lynne]

Day Lewis on North X rd. said I'd have to book online.

[Brian up the hill]

Be careful to steer clear of Lloyd?s Pharmacy. I made an appointment at Northcross Rd branch to have the flu jab only to have them send me an email a week later thanking me for letting them know I had cancelled. I hadn?t! Fearing some sort of data breach I went in to find out what was going on. The pharmacist told me she had cancelled due to there being no trained pharmacist available to do the vaccination. She said I had to go back and book again online. I said I thought that was an unprofessional and shoddy way to treat customers. Foolishly I made another appointment at the branch in Sainsbury?s DKH, had it confirmed and heard nothing more. However, when I turned up at the appointed time, I was told that they weren?t doing the flu jabs and that I was the third person who had come expecting to have it. They are still advertising the service but I?d say, if you want the flu jab, they are the ones to avoid. All in all a shambolic and completely unprofessional attitude by Lloyds Online. I have complained and await a reply, however, I won?t hold my breath.

Forest Hill Group practice were offering next day appointments to patients on their text list. Good service.

[Pugwash]

Hubby is having his at the Gardens on Saturday morning

[Nigello]

Still nothing from DMC, which is usually in touch by early September.

[George Orwell]

" Forest Hill Group practice were offering next day appointments to patients on their text list. Good service. "

All well and good, but the text message says you can book online. Neither the practice website nor Patient Access has any flu jab ordering system - you have to phone or visit Fort Knox in person.

[Sue]

I'm having mine at The Gardens tomorrow.

I may see your hubby there, Pugwash!

Judging by the weird time of mine, it seems they must be doing them at two minute intervals.

I asked for a later appointment and was told they were allocating them in the order people phoned for the appointment (so it's up at crack of dawn for me 😶)
