BMA announces GP Covid vaccination DES
GPs to be paid £12.58 per jab as details set out for Covid vaccination campaign
GPs are also visiting those who cannot leave home to ensure that they are also protected.
They will receive an additional £10 on top of the standard vaccination fee for all every housebound person they vaccinate.
Some GP services working in towns and cities have been vaccinating more than 100 people with conditions such as dementia, each day.

Well yeah, as the article explains it's so it will be cost neutral, it's not the GPs being paid, there's no profit involved. They're not making any money off it as £12.58 is the admin, freezing, storage, vaxing, staff cost per jab.
Most people had their jabs done at vax centres rather than having it at their GP practice and the GP doesn't even adninister the jab if people have it at their practice. There hasn't been a massive pressure campaign in the UK either.

As I understand it, GP's are paid for each registered patient who gets jabbed, even if the patient receives the jab at a vaccination centre rather than the surgery?

Good people or bad people, makes no difference, GP's are now all businessmen/peeps/theys/others. Each surgery is a registered business and vaccination forms part of the business model and income stream

The GP doesn't get paid - The Clinic al Commisioning Group reimburses the Primary Care Network the administration costs of providing the vaccinations.
Here's a link to the NHS reimbursement page explaining more
The lead practice will also be responsible for receiving all payments for their PCN group and distributing payments to the other practices.

I don't know exactly how the NHS financing system works, but do they get paid similar amounts for vaccinations in general?
