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!

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.
