I think from annecdata that there is a lag between the central NHS system and the local GP system. Your text and letter were probably ready to be sent before you pre-empted them by booking directly.
As you say - better belt and braces to make sure everyone is covered. -
There is a fairly big lag in large scale post mailshots. I'm not surprised that doesn't keep up with booking status of eager people. Not sure why text messaging isn't a bit more nimble though.

Not a complaint, and I know everything isn't quite joined up, and they'd rather err on the side of caution rather than missing informing someone but:-
Friday 22nd April - I book my jabs via the NHS website (also providing my NHS number).
Monday 25th April - I get a text message to invite me to book my jabs
Wendesday 28th April - I have my first jab
Thursday 29th April - I get a letter inviting me to book my jabs (this includes my NHS number).
No adverse reaction to my jab yesterday, just a bit of tiredness but I've been beasting myself in the pool and running recently so most of the tiredness is from that. Will see how 5-a-side and the pub goes later this evening.
