https://www.nhs.uk/book-a-coronavirus-vaccination/do-you-have-an-nhs-number


there is a disclaimer about it's use but you will only be allowed to book if eligible and it's use is being encouraged by 119 ( ttest and trace) and by HP.


worth checking daily .

Out of Sequence ?


I will be 69 in April

I have Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Asthma.

My peak flow breathing rate is 200-250. It should be above 500

My lungs are not working that good.


Should of got my Vaccine weeks ago.


Fox

Should of got my Vaccine weeks ago.


You are getting your vaccine on Thursday, from what you posted, and you would qualify I think in Tier 4 - with over 70s and those under 70 who are severely at risk (although I think that should mainly be those required to self isolate). Those were promised a first vaccine by mid February - which you will be getting. Those ahead of you were those in Care Homes, much older or who are front-line health workers, including those working in Care Homes.


My reference to 'out of sequence' is to those who wouldn't have qualified in the first 6 Tiers but who were available to use up a deteriorating vaccine that would otherwise have been wasted. But who would have been vaccinated at some time.

Should of got my Vaccine weeks ago.


But you are not shielding, Dulwich Fox, are you?


I know you are 68 and ill, but It was people over 70, and people advised to shield (as clinically extremely vulnerable), who received appointments earlier.


If you were shielding you would have been receiving letters which amongst other things strongly advised you not to go to the shops, even to a pharmacy, but to get all your shopping online or via somebody else.


On another thread I suggested you ask your GP if you thought you should have been classified as clinically extremely vulnerable.


Anyway, it's irrelevant now and I'm glad you are getting your first jab :)

Sue.


I am not Isolating.. I have not been told to isolate..


I have had face to face appointments at


Kings (MRI and CT scans) Brain and Orbits


St Thomas' hospital Cataracts 2 appointments


Tessa Jowell center ... Diabetic Eye Clinic.


Tessa Jowell Center Blood Tests HbA1c Glycated Haemoglomin test


DMC Face to face Flu Jab


DMC Face to face Blood Tests Vit B12


DMC Blood Pressure Test


So not too worried about going out for shopping for food.


I think St Thomas' wanted me to have my Covid Jabs so they can have me in for my Cataracts.

My Diabetic Eye screening results were clear with no Retina damage.



Foxy

Foxy, I only meant that you were not in one of the priority groups for getting the vaccine, either because of your age or because of being categorised as clinically extremely vulnerable.



So, far from complaining that you should have had your jab weeks ago, you should be very grateful that in fact you have had it earlier than the vast majority of people in your age group!


I hope your cataract ops go well!


🙂

I was not complaining But I was unsure Why I was contacted by Guys and St Thomas'


Local people who I know that have had the Vaccine were contacted by The Tessa Jowell Center.


I Have now been offered a Vaccine at Kings or PRUH ?? ,

The Email appeared to come from DDC or ADZ Dental Pracice

They had previously sent me an email saying I had not replied to a Recall Reminder

Do not remember such a Recall Reminder.

I gave up using them shortly after I retired in 2008 as I no longer had Dental / Medical Insurance.

I have not used ADZ Dental Pratice (Private) for over 10 years


The latest email said to ignore it if I had made alternative arrangements ?

That's worrying as if they checked my NHS number they would know I have been Vaccinated.


Foxy

A 68 year old I know locally had a text invite to attend Guy's or St Thomas'. He went to Guy's where he got the Pfizer jab but declined the free tea or coffee afterwards.


Another local person I know, 67, got a text from KCH inviting attendance at KCH or PRU. 36 hours later had an appointment at KCH where they got the Pfizer jab and a 'I've had a jab' sticker but no tea or coffee.


Both trips were efficient and all done, including waiting, within the hour.

My mother had hers today in Rosendale Road, West Dulwich which was in a former hairdressers which still had the fixtures used as individual cubicles.


Very fast and efficient with a friendly nurse who did the vaccination. AstraZeneca was the vaccine used there.

My wife spoke to a member of EDMC a couple of days ago, turns out she was supposed to have been offered a jab some time ago along with me. Even though she asked a GP there last week about it, she was told that we weren't eligible yet and would be contacted "in due course".


Got it done today at the Tessa Jowell Centre, the staff there were fantastic. So good I'm going to ask to be switched over to them as my GP had quite enough of the failed EDMC.


So if you feel that you fit into one of the vulnerable groups / have a long term condition, DO contact your GP or their admin team and find out if you can get your vaccination booked.


EDIT: They are currently offering the Pfizer and Oxford vaccines. Allow for an extra 15 minutes after the jab as they want to make sure you don't have any immediate reaction or side effects.

Its your last sentence I was rubbishing. Evidence please

Right, try calling the 119 number to speak with someone, it's a maze of menu's that does not include an option to speak with someone. If the process is not simple and straight forward I believe people may get fed up and not bother. (although I feel Everyone should be vaccinated)


Eventually spoke to someone and was told it would be my Practice which put me in the group I am in and the NHS can't change that. One of the staff at the surgery today said it was the NHS the other said it was the surgery who categorised patients. So no clarity there then.


Funnily having spoken with the dept I am under at Kings, who said the opposite, that I was deemed to be in the vulnerable group and should be vaccinated. I was offered a vaccination today. The process at Kings was efficient, effective and very well organised. As an add on to this, it was clear that those being vaccinated were of a wide range of ages.

Booked for myself and my husband using 119. Took about 10 mins to book 1st and 2nd appts for both of us. Had vaccinations at Junction Pharmacy in Coldharbour Lane. We were the only people there for vaccinations. Staff lovely, pharmacy spotlessly clean. Whole process took about 15 mins. Well pleased!

Yes me! Tuesday also

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
