COVID-19 vaccination text message invites

Posted on 29th January 2021 by samantha cromar

Dear patients,

The practice is starting to send out text messages inviting patients to book a COVID vaccine online. Strict numbers of invitations are being sent, depending on how many vaccines the Blaydon Primary Care site is expecting. We are inviting our patients in priority order, so it is important that you do not share the link to anyone else. People not registered at the practice and not in the current invitation list will have their appointment cancelled, and will not receive a vaccine even if they turn up at Blaydon.

The text will say: Chopwell Surgery invites you to book a COVID vaccine at Blaydon by going to [link]. We are prioritising invites, so do not forward this link to anyone else. To verify this message visit our website. If you have difficulties booking please call the surgery.

The booking site will ask you for your name, date of birth, NHS Number (or postcode if you do not know your NHS Number), phone number and email. The NHS will never verify your identity by asking for your bank details or ask for payment; this vaccine is free and in the UK can only be given by the NHS.
