I'm a week short of it being six months since my second Covid-19 vaccination. My sister and brother in law walked in to a vaccination centre in Stratford and were given their boosters a few weeks early. I was turned away from Fourway Pharmacy today as I'm a few days short of 180 days since my last vaccination. Does anyone know what my chances might be if I turn up to Denmark Hill or Guys vaccination centres - or have intel on anywhere else that might help? Thanks in advance...

I don?t think the providers of vaccinations are allowed to circumvent the rules they are required to work too, even if it is by just a couple of weeks or a day or two.

Today I saw somebody try to get an ?early? booster at Queens pharmacy and they were politely told that they were two weeks early.

The person then remonstrated claiming that ?the PRIME MINISTER has told me I can have my booster and to approach a clinic immediately, and I have had to queue !!?.

Yeah, for like four minutes 🙄.

The receptionist at the clinic had to point out that the NHS has not received formal direction yet, regardless of what the tinsel haired twat has said.

So, please don?t hassle the staff, they are doing the best they can and it seems the rules are being applied according to dates and the timeline before you can receive the next double booster.

And more importantly, don?t listen to the PM, he talks crap and has no value.

If you go to a walk in centre currently you need to have a 182 day gap between the 2nd vaccine and the booster - similar if you book online.


Just got mine today -182 days on from 4 June.


Apparently the government has said this should change, announced it, but didn't tell the NHS - so their systems still expect 182 days.

Thanks all, there were lots of helpful responses here. Just got mine done at Guys, you go to the counting house to register and then it?s Bermondsey Wing vaccination centre 3 today, open til 7pm. Really efficient service (once you find the right buildings)! Particular thanks just_browsing x

      Flu and Covid jabs locally

      Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.

      Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..

      @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
