It will be based on the flu virus rollout*, but that is a limited subset, compared to this rollout.
Round here, I am going to get a txt message to say they have started, phase 1, criteria is x, contact us to make an appointment. Given their age They will be included in phase 1 and provided their contact details are up to date they will be contacted by email, txt or mail, but no-one is going to phone them up and say "hey Mr and Mrs FM2R, pop in and see us next week at 10:30 for your Covid Jab". Some management from a family member or care giver is inevitably going to be required to make sure they make that appointment and keep it.
*Here it was txt from the surgery to say its available, and a letter from the NHS saying I should contact my surgery for a jab
