If you receive an email, text message, or phone call purporting to be from the NHS that asked you to provide financial details, it is a scam. In the UK, the COVID-19 vaccine is only available from the NHS and always free of charge. The NHS has said it will never ask for bank account or card details, PIN numbers or banking passwords, and will never arrive unannounced at your home to administer the vaccine. You will never be asked to prove your identity by sending copies of personal documents such as passports, driving licenses, bills, or payslips.
