Covid-19 vaccine scam alerts




Please watch out for fraudulent calls and text messages offering the Covid-19 vaccination
The fake text message (pictured above) takes you through to a bogus website that does appear to look like a genuine NHS site which asks for your banking details.

We would like to remind everyone the vaccine is only available from the NHS, there is no cost and eligible people will be contacted directly when it is their turn.

Please let friends and family know.

Could you be a plasma donor?


NHS Blood and Transplant is looking for anyone aged 17 years and older who has had Covid-19, particularly those who have been seriously ill and recovered, to donate blood plasma.

People from Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities are particularly encouraged to donate.

A new pop-up plasma donor centre has opened in Ashford and is based at County Square in Elwick Road.
