Scams Awareness
There have been some incidents where members of the public have been contacted on email, or on their doorstep by people offering the vaccine for a fee.
The Scottish Government has reiterated that only NHS Scotland can administer the vaccine in an approved vaccination centre and that it is free to the general public.
If you experience any telephone calls, text messages, emails or doorstep cold callers demanding payment for the vaccine, do not give them any financial details or payment and report the incident to your line manager and HR.
