I think you can more or less count on getting a communication from NHS inviting you to make an appointment at one of the vaccination centres or pharmacies that fall within their part of the organisation. See https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-booster-vaccine/. GPs seem to act separately and make their own decisions, with apparently less involvement than at the start.


On walk-ins specifically, the CCG site https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/pop-up-clinics/ gives details. But it's far from clear to me from that alone, without asking them, which offer boosters as well as primary doses. On our own thread https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?32,2233605 there's confirmation of a pharmacy offering a third primary dose, and my own mention of getting a walk-in booster at KCH.

The guidance is to allow 6 months and 1 week to pass before you have your booster (third vaccine). You can go online to book your booster dose at the following NHS webpage https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/book-or-manage-a-booster-dose-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine/

When I checked the GRAB-A-JAB website, they were listed as doing shots 1 and 2 but not booster, I'll ring tomorrow thanks

Many thanks, NHS text arrived today, exactly 6 months to the day from my 2nd, so I'm booked in!

Kings are doing walk ins, it has moved from the Dental School to the far end of the hospital, just follow the signs along to the corner of the "old" car park (being re-developed), turn right, head towards the new buildings and then sort of turn diagonally left and you'll come to a yard with an entrance door. Inside it is bright, but unlike the set up in the Dental School, didn't seem as friendly as the first two vaccinations, don't let that put you off.

You now self time yourself in the rest area post vaccination, before leaving.

Was that upstairs where the surgery is or at the Day Lewis Pharmacy downstairs? My mother is having her booster at Tessa Jowell upstairs next week through the GP.

Looked on SELDOC website and it said that booking is required. If Tessa Jowell requires a booking then that doesn't seem to mean "walk-in" as in "got time now, so I'll go along". Same for Lister Health Centre. And Kings requires a letter from a GP. What do you do if you don't have this - even if you have a letter from NHS about needing to get a booster?

I went to Kings as a walk in last Friday around 4.30. 20 minute wait, no GP letter needed, just your NHS number. I was exactly 182 days from 2nd jab and was given the booster. Very efficient. Although the vaccination centre is a long walk from the main entrance so it?s easier to go and leave via Coldharbour lane.

Thanks for many helpful suggestions - I was about to go to Kings and not worry about a GP letter when I was sent an email invite to book a booster at the Tessa Jowell so got that sorted. Bit of an odd coincidence considering sent in my email to EDF yesterday.


Would like to understand why it was not included on the NHS booking website (or is it governmental?)along with all the others the algorithn considers to be near where you live once you've put in your postcode.

Ai more-or-less ui there are different administrative entity types involved: (1) NHS vaccination centres, such as Guys/St Thomas's and KCH. (2) Primary Care Network (groups of GP practices working co-operatively) organised vaccination sites. I think TJHC will be one of these. (3) Community Pharmacies. (4) Conceivably (I don't actually know) individual GP practices. The National Booking Service seems to serve (1) and (3): https://digital.nhs.uk/coronavirus/vaccinations/national-booking-service.

TJHC is indeed, I believe, an NHS Community Care (GP Consortium) site for Covid vaccinations so wouldn't be on any general NHS vaccination list. It is used just for the GP practices in the consortium, to consolidate Covid vaccinations in one place for that Group of surgeries. Nominally I believe only patients of those practices are called up there.

    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
