Hi,
Today i got a text message from the NHS inviting me down to get my 1st jab.
It said I could either book on line or call them on 119 to arrange it.
I called the 119 number, and to my horror i got the emergency services.
A voice on the end said Police, Fire or ambulance, which one do you require.
I was taken back and said i was just enquiring about the Covid jab and quickly apologised for dialing the wrong number.
After hanging up i quickly checked the number i had dialed to see if i had wrongly dialed the wrong number.
All i could see on my history was, it saying emergency service number.
OK i must of dialed the wrong number so again i tried double checking i did it correctly.
119 appeared on my phone so i went ahead and made the call, only to end up with the emergency services again.
After some more grovelling apologies i double checked the number again to which it stated Emergency service again.
Looking on the Internet it does state 119 is the correct number for the Covid help line, so i then tried it again on another phone, and this time it went straight through to the Covid helpline.
Phew that was a relief to say the least.
It's all booked now for my jab for tomorrow, but i thought i would just share my experience just incase this happens to anybody else here.
All the best,
Johnny
