Chile has taken a somewhat more simplistic approach - age & ID card with schedule announcement posters emailed and nailed to lamposts.. Bear in mind that this country loves bureaucratic rules and the populace is happy to follow them. There's only ever trouble here if they fear someone is getting an advantage that others are not.
There are a vaccination stations everywhere. There are 5 in my comuna (small borough). Plus there is a special large double decker coach that is mobile and travels a circular route of plazas each day. There are 34 comunas in Santiago and they'll all be similarly equipped.
There are 312 comunas in the rest of Chile which will be equipped according to population density.
They issued a time table
3rd Feb Age 90+
4th Feb Age 89 - 87
5th Feb Age 86 - 85
8th Feb Age 84 - 81
9th Feb Age 80 - 78
etc. etc.
So far out to 02nd March Age 50 - 52
On March 3rd second doses commence on a similar timetable.
You can turn up to any vaccination station at any time and present your ID card (which shows your age). You'll be jabbed there and then.
Queues seem to be running at 10 or so per station all day, so quite manageable and quick.
Special cases need to present themselves at a hospital with a doctor's letter.
As I have said before, this lot may not know s*** from a shovel, but their vaccination infrastructure is second to none. They started 2 weeks ago and their current progress is 7th in the world at 12 per 100 pop.
