Members of the public are being warned about several ongoing Covid-19 scams targeting elderly people.

An Garda Síochána, the HSE and the Department of Health say they are aware of several instances where people, who are usually older, are reporting having received suspicious phone calls informing them of a Covid-19 vaccination appointment at a seemingly random Irish hospital, usually not one in their locality.
