Reports have been made of people receiving suspicious calls and texts offering the jab – and asking people for their bank details.

Residents have been urged to remember the Covid-19 vaccines are only available on the NHS and the vaccine is free of charge.

Superintendent Simon Inglis, of Wolverhampton Police said: "Much of the pandemic has brought out the very best in human nature, but occasionally we have seen the worst in human nature – scammers trying to extract money or personal information in this way is a depressing example of this.

"Please make sure you and your family don't fall victim to them."
