People do "slip through the net" though and I've heard of elderly people (even 85+ year olds) having to chase up their GP for an appointment, having heard nothing. Sometimes will be due to outdated contact details held by the GP, sometimes administrative errors. It's inevitable really when something is being done on a scale of millions.
My Dad got a call from a booking line and then received a letter a week after he had had the jab from his own GP.
