I have booked a flu jab for next week with my GP surgery, but they don't do Covid jabs, and I'd rather get them both done at once.

Are there any reasonably local pharmacies who do this, and if so is it walk in or would I need to make an appointment?

Thanks!

Obviously I would cancel the one with my GP!

If you're not comfortable with lots of people in a small space, I'd recommend avoiding peak times though 😎

FYI I went to Sogim yesterday, there were four of us waiting plus customers coming and going and it's a pretty small space, standing room only.

There are also two pharmacies in Nunhead giving vaccinations. 

[You'll need to put in a valid neighbouring (eg SE15 3HB) full postcode to get to their entries.]

ETA: not so actually. Don't know how that happened -- they are included when I enter my SE22 postcode.  Incidentally, Kristal do walk-ins too.  I was in and out with a flu jab in five minutes this morning, after having phoned (15 min. :-)) to check, as the online system doesn't do same-day bookings.)

Thanks so much everyone for all this info, it was very easy for me to get an appointment for both jabs.

I chose Kristal in Nunhead because although it's less convenient, they were great when I went there before.

I'm not keen on Sogim for reasons unrelated to the above (I've had very poor service there in the past).

I don’t live in ED but strangely have had 2 text messages from Kristals advising me to book my flu and Covid jabs which are available online and to have at the same time. This was in September. I’ve never had a flu jab but had 4 Covid jabs when advised to have them and I wanted them anyway but  never had them at Kristal’s but at various places that were offering me them at the time when needed. Last one I had to travel to a Covid jab site in Kennington!

Agreed on Sogim - no attempt made to physically space customers. Avoid 

Four Ways near to HH station has space inside and outside, with chairs. 

 But why do places offering jabs need to physically space customers?  Just be grateful that you can receive a potentially life saving treatment. 

Just had my flu and Covid jabs at Kristals.

I was early, but didn't have to wait long, and there is a reasonably big waiting area which only had one or two people in it.

The jabs themselves were quick and easy, and the staff friendly and helpful, so all good 

I realised when I got there that it wasn't actually Kristals I  went to last time. It must have been the smaller pharmacy on that stretch, but they didn't have a notice in their window saying they were doing the jabs 

What a strange place Kristals is, though! I could have picked up some hardware stuff while I was there!

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
