Flu and Covid jabs

[Sue]

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!

Sogim Pharmacy on Lordship Lane are doing both. You would need to make an appointment but when I booked there were lots of slots available.

This covers the dual vaccination sites too.

Great, thanks both!

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.

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

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

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.

I was at Sogim on Wednesday, the tiny waiting area was crammed full of people waiting for jabs and the pharmacist. I'll be going back to Kristal in Nunhead next time.

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).

Is Kristal doing the pfizer?

No idea, I booked the appointment online 

I'm not bothered which I get.

I had my Covid jab at Kristal today, and they had Moderna.

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!

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