I don't believe that every GP Practice was every expeceted to be directly envolved with the actual vaccinations but the changes made to how the vaccination process will now have to accommodate the additional need to keep people on site for an additional 15 minutes will, IMHO, have a drastic knock on effect to the plans of how many vaccination will be possible and which locations can be used.
My old practice had 17 GPs and a raft of pratice nurses with the scope to carry our a lot of vaccinations if they could be handled in the same way as this years FLU vaccinations. Even though they could implement a one way system there is no way they would have the space needed to accodate, or deal with, high volumes of covid vaccination recipitants in any waiting areas, socially distanced, for 15 minutes.
The process to set up a collaboration between practices can be seen here:-
