Claimed to be NHS checking on flu vaccinations. When I asked why she was calling me from Peebles Scotland she tried telling me thats where vaccinations are administered from. When I pointed out NHS admin is in most cases looked after locally and I live in Yorkshire I couldn't understand why she was calling from Scotland . She hung up. I had 2 missed calls from the number and checked the location so when zi answered the 3rd call I knew it was from Peebles Scotland. Quite likely some kind of scam.

Female with African accent says she is calling from Public Health Dept and asking if I had my flu vaccination. When asked why this information is required she said it was needed for my health form...... i answered that the flu vaccination programme had not yet commenced and as a department found it strange they did not have this information to hand and she put the phone down.
