That's why the graph starts from March. In March (when the vaccine was only available to older people), the vaccinated were actually dying at a slightly lower rate than the unvaccinated.
By mid-April, the two groups were dying at roughly the same rate, and by May (when the vaccine was available to people as young as 30) the vaccinated started dying at a much higher rate. So again, once younger people started receiving the vaccine, the death rate for the vaccinated shot up.
Younger people were transferring from the unvaccinated group to the vaccinated group, yet as more young people became vaccinated, the vaccinated death rate shot up.
Also, the 10-59 age range was provided by the UK government. That's the grouping they provide. The graph can only be created based on the age groups the UK government provide data for.
