I've had the same thing the last two weeks

Started pretty much straight after I put my phone number in the vaccination booking site so wondered if it was that as I try not to put my number on online forms wherever possible. Don't know if that is similar for you but someone at work today (who is too young for vaccine) said they had a scam call from number very similar to theirs.
