A member received an email headed “IMPORTANT - Book an appointment using the NHS e-Referral Service NHSVaccination … Your NHS.CO.UK order #203-9320557-23482748 has been dispatched.” This is a scam; sent to email address and no indication of the member's name,
The Police also add that COVID-19 vaccine will always be free in the UK and delivered by the NHS. Patients will be sent a letter by the NHS call/recall service informing them of their eligibility, and receive a call from Primary Care Networks, offering the choice of booking at a GP-led vaccination centre or using the national booking service. Remember that any contact regarding a real NHS COVID-19 vaccination booking will never:
- Ask for payment or any bank details
- Ask you to press a button on your keypad when on the phone
- Ask you to send a text to confirm the booking
