As I may or may not have mentioned somewhere here, I had my covid booster jab on November 27th.

Now (well, actually yesterday afternoon) a text from the NHS. Hurry up and book my booster jab!

Seems their IT systems and records are as coherent as ever. Begs questions like what proportion of the population have missing records, and how will that affect anything looking like a vaccine passport?

[edit] Strewth, I'd forgotten the pink marshmallows. I guess this board can't tell its marshmallows from its lemons!

I think it was a text message sent to everyone (on major networks, at least). This is probably a lot easier than checking individual records and matching these (where possible) to mobile 'phone numbers.

It was spam. Everyone I know received one at around the same time yesterday.

All the best, Si

It was government spam though.
