Police warning

Below is a warning from the police.Please note.

 Dear Watch Member,

Police have received a number of reports from concerned residents, who have received text/emails asking them to pay to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment.

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.

We would like to remind people who are contacted to remember that any contact regarding a real NHS COVID-19 vaccination booking will never:

1. Ask for payment or any bank details

2. Ask you to press a button on your keypad when on the phone

3. Ask you to send a text to confirm the booking
