In many ways, California functions as an independent nation-state with its own federated states (usually counties, here: jurisdictions) simply due to its immense size, geographically and economically.

But we have four separate nation regions in the UK that are each doing their own thing so no different to your separate states doing their own thing.

My wife is an elementary teacher and currently teaching remotely. If she gets vaccinated and then returns to school, while she may be protected my daughter and I will be at more risk than pre-vaccine now since we're currently all at home.
I understand the AstraZeneca vaccine is said to inhibit transmission, but I have heard that is not the case in the other leading candidates.

That is interesting that teaching staff are being vaccinated early. In the UK is is being used purely to protect the more vulnerable rather than to inhibit transmission, as it's not only the high death rate that needs prevented but also the more vulnerable filling up the hospitals as they succumb to the disease and thus bringing all non-covid hospital services to a halt.
So it is starting with the very vulnerable, along with frontline healthcare staff (a nurse dies very recently, the 204th frontline healthworker to die from covid), and then working done in tranches finishing at 50-55 - at that point that is meant to have done about one third of the country.

Teachers and childcare workers are included in phase 1b, which also includes prisons, group homes, food service and grocery workers, people over 65, people with high risk who are under 65.
I think phase 2 is other essential workers.
Phase 3 is every one under 65 who isn't any of the above.
Bottomline is that there are some essential workers who are more essential and are in contact with more people than others.

Its gonna be a shit show.
I'm pretty low down on the priority list so I've resigned myself to being towards the back of the line.

Interesting that the US is including a lot of people who come into contact with the public although they may not be in a high risk group, especially when it is unknown if it actually inhibits transmission.
The UK is purely concentrating on at risk groups, in decreasing priority, and healthcare staff (who are dying on the frontline). The mortality stats for the year in the UK shows that if you're under 45 with no underlying health issues you have a very low probability of dying from the disease:

Until now. Two weeks ago, the female owner's mother tested positive for COVID-19, and she lives in a nursing home a few states away. Now our married owners are very serious about wearing masks, and more vigilant about who is wearing masks around them. I feel like more and more Americans will come around in the next couple of months as people they know personally get sick.

My mom was kind of in the “oh, it’s overblown media hype” camp until one of her acquaintances died from COVID. Took exactly one week to go from perfectly healthy, no preexisting conditions or comorbidities, to dead.
