Bottom line is, you aren't answering the question (asked quite a few times) as to why you think a teacher in their 20s should get a vaccine ahead of someone in their 40s just because they are a teacher?
I feel i have answered that question on several occasions!

I am Cohort 10, if thats what it gets called, but my exposure to risk is low because i am not working full time, or with any customers or members of the public. My wife is also Cohort 10, and i think her and her colleagues in younger Cohorts are being asked to increase their risk by spending extended time in a room, with youngsters who dont understand distancing and hygiene rules fully. The dominant Kent strain is causing more serious symptoms, sending more to hospital, and sadly killing younger people, and only lockdown has suppressed it.

The case ive seen made about not "prioritizing" teachers is based on data gathered when reliable data was, like you say, impossible to gather because teachers had their exposure to the virus practically nullified.

So to be clear, my personal opinion is that ALL public facing and high density workplace employees who are ALL facing similar risk levels, should ALL be prioritized ahead of employees who are working from home or at very little risk. And for reasons i have put forward recently, i dont think that is such a hard thing to achieve.
