And yeah not everyone is high risk but getting a shot into every health care worker, teacher, every person who interacts with lots of people etc will greatly reduce the impact of the virus, which includes reducing risk to high risk people.

That's part of the reason they're being successful against COVID-19, rather than just vaccines alone. Vaccines help but vaccination alone will not get you to where they are now. If you want to do a country-wide campaign to encourage social distancing, masks, washing hands, etc... it's much easier to do there. For example, see how Israel erradicated Malaria and see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1chsYafMqE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1chsYafMqE
