Although there is very good understanding of how viruses work, and ability to quickly decode virus genomes and effectively track every mutation, there does seem to be quite a few things not yet fully understood or measured about how the human immune system works. The immune system is extremely complex and can go badly wrong and when it does there's not all that much can be done about it. Its not yet really understood how autoimmune diseases develop, there are conflicting hypothesis on what the causes are.
I'm not convinced that having what we perceive to be most of the information means we can confidently have all the answers.
Vaccines for the vulnerable? seems pretty obvious that this is a good idea.
Vaccines for young healthy people and potentially children? Lockdowns preventing the usual viruses to be doing the rounds and exposing young peoples immune systems to viruses normally and naturally? I'm not so sure.
I go back again to the spanish flu, It is understood that It was the russian flu encountered many years earlier and it's effect on their immune systems as children that set the scene for the 20-30 year olds to be the worst affected age group.
