Boots normally offer them, but unprecedented take-up (can't think why) has led to shortages and suspension of their service. I suspect if you wait a bit they will become available again. Anyone in a vulnerable (age/ underlying condition/ caring responsibility) category should have been offered one through the NHS.

Flu jabs can lose their efficacy over time, so having them in November (before the hardest hitting time) coukd actually be a benefit. Social distancing and masks are likely to keep down infection rates anyway. Superdrug has a booking facility for the branches offering vaccinations. Streatham is nearest. Good luck

Flu jabs can lose their efficacy over time


However, they also take 1-2 weeks to become fully effective - so you do need to get the timing right. 'December to March' is seen as the season, although it can start as early as October.https://www.bupa.co.uk/health-information/childrens-health/flu#:~:text=Seasonal%20flu%20(influenza)%20is%20an,and%20as%20late%20as%20May.


However it is to be hoped that mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing may reduce the incidence - so it's an ill wind...

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
