14 calls a day from Covid Clinic Asking me to book?

Spender£

I had both of my jabs some time ago but I'm getting at most 14 calls per day from a person at the NHS asking why i have not had any of my covid jabs!
This person phones on my mobile every when i'm at work asking the same thing and when i say I've had my jabs he says he will call again later!

I have checked the number and it is an NHS immunisation clinic.

I would estimate my work colleagues are 50/50 in terms of vaccinated or unvaccinated through their own personal choice and none have told me they get calls like this, surely if they are this desperate to give jabs to unvaccinated they should make it mandatory rather than harass people over the phone.

Can anyone tell how i can prove my status or should i just change my phone number because i'm getting fed up of being disturbed by this person.

Block the number?

I have been unable to block it for some reason, my phone is claiming it is on the blocked list but it keeps coming through, i might have to get a call blocking app.

Changing your phone, but keeping your current SIM might be a better solution. It should be possible to block the call. You could try swapping your SIM to someone else's phone to see if the calls can be blocked on their phone, so at least you will know whether it is your handset that is the reason the call can't be blocked.

You could ask to speak to the person's manager and ask the manager to remove your number from their database. Tell them they don't have your permission to call the number any more. Ask for the name of the manager and the name of their employer.

I would check your NHS app to ensure your vaccines have been recorded properly, before you start blocking anything.

Even if they’re not recorded properly, or if OP had chosen not to be vaccinated, that’s still harassment and shouldn’t be happening. I’d be taking it up formally with the clinic.

I would definitely report this person to his superiors. Calling 14 times a day is wasting NHS resources.

It seems so very unlike anything I have heard about is there a way it could be a scam?  That might explain the phone number that is blocked but not blocked.

I just cannot see that being a genuine call. The number could be changed to mimic a genuine one.

I doubt it's genuine

Here's a question, were you vaccinated in a different country to where you live? I live in England, was vaccinated in Wales through work. Only recently has the NHS app recognised my vaccination status

After getting covid I had more calls that expected. They all appear to be working from home, often newly recruited. They're following a script on a system. If its the same person calling have you asked why they've called again? Ask for their name and ask to speak to a supervisor.

Can you set a specific ring tone for this number? If so try a silent one.
