Elly_B Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 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...

KidKruger Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 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.

JohnL Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 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.

tomskip Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I had my booster last week at the pharmacy on Rosendale Road. Although I had booked mine and was just past 6 months by a few days from my 2nd jab, there were people walking in and being accepted into the queue.

Elly_B Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 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)!

Jellybeanz Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Lots of walk ins if you check NHS website, or you can just book yourself if you're over 30 I believe (may be even younger now?).
