Covid-19 vaccine fraud alert

Please see trading standards' flyer which warns about Covid-19 scams and offers advice on how to steer clear of them. Some of these scams are quite sophisticated with texts claiming to be from the NHS.

• Never give out personal or financial details in response to any Covid-19 vaccine emails, texts or phone calls - even if the sender ‘claims’ to be from the NHS.
• Covid-19 vaccinations are provided free by the NHS, so ignore anyone offering you one in exchange for money.
