No. The idea is to speed up vaccination by dealing with this complexity 
online, when the person books. Once they have booked, on the day, staff 
just have to check that the person who turns up is the one the booking 
is for.

Yes, that is what governments are elected to do, make life and death 
decisions for us.

Yes, some form of ID.

No, I didn't think it was simple. But this is a level of complexity 
which those designing information systems deal with.
