It was only announced at the end of last week that Covid vaccinations have been brought forward. The timetable is those in care homes and those who are immuno compromised will be contacted from this week and those over 65 from next week on though I guess they'll be working down the age range again. 

I know someone who has had their flu jab at The Gardens and I've arranged to have mine at Day Lewis.

I think it will be the same as the spring booster -  you will receive a text to make an appointment  -  after a few checks, it will then ask you to enter your postcode and you will be presented with choices to make an appointment with a nearby pharmacy or hospital from a list...

 

And true re: - above -- prioritisation - so I guess be patient - you'll eventually be contacted....

It is a shame that, considering this is seasonal vaccination time my own surgery does not feel able to share any information on this - I had, by last year, already been called and and had received my flu vaccination, if memory serves. And they were flagging that they wouldn't be doing Covid but others would. They really do seem hopeless.

As my GP is still silent on the matter (I belong to the only Trappist GP Practice in SE London) I am booked into my local Pharmacy. 

I've just discovered that those eligible for the normal round of covid vaccinations (i.e. those over 65) will have NHS invitations rolled out from 18th September).

It's now possible for over 65s to book for a covid booster on the nhs website. Seems though the nearest place offering the service is in Tulse Hill. I might wait a bit to see if more places are added

PS FHRGP didn't invite me for a flu jab until 20 Sept last year

When using the Find a Walk-in COVID vaccination point, don’t use the Age Range filter as it seems to send you far away. The Medicos Pharmacy next to the Jenner Health Centre on Stanstead Rd. and the chemist in Croxley Rd., West Dulwich are both offering boosters. Otherwise, yes, there seem to be plenty in New Cross/Lewisham area and Brixton/Tulse Hill/ Norwood but a bit sparse around Dulwich. 

And yes, I had my COVID booster on Monday morning by walking into the Medicos Pharmacy. No queue and fast, friendly and efficient.

I'm sure I had last year's Covid jab at The Gardens (asked for and was given it at the same time as my flu jab).

I'm absolutely sure I've never had one anywhere else, and I was hoping to have one at the same time as a forthcoming face to face appointment for something else 

But the receptionist insists they have "never done Covid jabs".

Has anyone else ever had one at this surgery, or is my memory even worse than  I thought?!

I note (a) these are in the news and that (b) there are no notices in FHRGP about them, indeed searching on key words flu and Covid is a pointless exercise. Are any other local surgeries offering these (I'm over 70 and do qualify)? 

For Covid can book on lime at www.nhs.uk/book-covid

for flue nhs website look for nearest pharmacy

big double fronted chemist on munhead lane does flue by appt.

you need your nhs number

I was booked in to TJC by DMC tor a Covid jab today (Sat.) but on arrival was told TJC was not offering this service today and that it was only the Lister Centre doing C jabs. Two other people (one elderly) were in the same boat. I have an email address of the head of the service so will complain. Anyone else experienced this cockup?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
