Parents are being warned about a fake NHS worker who has been cold-calling homes to offer injections for young children.
The man, who carries ID, is claimed to have visited a number of addresses in Blythe Bridge and Stoke-on-Trent last Thursday and Friday.
According to reports he asks residents if any children under the age of five live at the address before offering them 'immunity injections', StokeonTrentLive reports.
He was reported to a GP surgery in Blythe Bridge before the matter was passed to police.
A post warning about the disturbing incidents has been posted on Facebook .
It reads: "Be aware! There is a white male, English, doing the rounds in the Blythe Bride area knocking on doors asking if there's children under five in the house. He claims to be from the NHS with ID.
"He was literally offering door-to-door immunity injections with no pre-warning so be suspicious if you have a knock at the door.
"He was around the Mayfield Drive area at 1.30pm."
An NHS spokesman said: “The NHS does not cold call people."
StokeonTrentLive has contacted Staffordshire Police for a comment.
