The NHS number was on my invitation letter. They did ask for it at the centre but wasn't a problem if you didn't have it....probability easier for them to update records. If you are registered with a GP you will have an NHS number. |

They were reporting in the news the other week for the people who don't have a NHS number or registered with a GP, including illegal immigrants, to contact their local health providers to get a vaccine without any comeback on them. There are many people in the country without a NHS number for numerous reasons |

I've heard, anecdotally, that it helps if you can provide it, but they're making sure everyone here gets vaccinated |

From experience, no you don't need it. When I booked mine, it was via a text from my GP, who provided a link to select a time and date. When I got there, I had to fill in a form with some other details, but the form was pre-printed with my name, address, DOB and NHS number, so I didn't need to provide those. |

"Do you need to have an NHS number to register for a vaccine?
I would have thought that everyone has an NHS number, even if they don't know what it is.

I'd say you're right. For anyone who's ever had a prescription for medication, it will always be printed on there. |

NHS number wasn’t on my text message invite, it took approximately 2 minutes to follow the link and book jab.
NHS number wasn’t asked for at medical centre, took about 10 minutes from arrival to departure.
Hell o’ v a system |

I walked through the door of the vaccine centre, told to go into room 4 where I found a nurse and a GP. GP asked my name and what time My appointment is. Then asked a few questions about my health. I was pricked and sent on my way. No forms to fill in, just arrived, questioned and pricked. All took about 3 mins  |
