Quite possibly its a records error.
I used to get offered a flu jab each year from my mid 50’s onwards. I queried this with my doc, when I was there on another matter, and he looked at the screen and said he could see why the system was doing it but it was wrong. As my appointment was about something else I didn’t ask more about it and the invites stopped until I reached the proper age.
More worryingly my pregnant daughter was identified as vulnerable and must shield in the first phase of the COVID outbreak. She queried it and was told it was due to her (non-existent) heart condition. It turned out an entry on her records had been crossed with someone else. She tried to get it resolved as she was worried that the other woman wasn’t getting the right advice but it never was clearly resolved.
These are different surgeries and I guess with all the keying of manual records onto new systems over the years errors are inevitable.
