The NHS has been made aware of fraudsters trying to take advantage of the COVID vaccination programme to make money from the public.

Good cyber hygiene does not change. Always be aware that an unsolicited telephone call, email or text message may not be from the person or organisation which it appears to be from. Never click on a link in a message you’re not expecting, and remember the NHS will never ask you for money relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

You don’t need to apply for the vaccine

You don’t need to share your bank details to confirm your identity

Please ensure your family and friends are also aware of this scam.
