Vaccine Digital Passport Scams

A number of scams are circulating.  In the UK, coronavirus vaccines will only be available via the National Health Services of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. You can be contacted by the NHS, your employer, a GP surgery or pharmacy local to you, to receive your vaccine.

Remember:

The vaccine is free of charge.
Your vaccination status can be obtained free through the official NHS app, NHS website, or by calling the NHS on 119.

If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up. If you are suspicious about an email you have received, you can report it by forwarding the email to: report@phishing.gov.uk.

Suspicious text messages can also be reported by forwarding them to the number: 7726 (it’s free of charge).
