Agreed. But I doubt you will ever see vaccine requirements put in place by the US government. It would probably be unconstitutional in this country. It would also likely be unconstitutional for private entities to require vaccination to participate their products/services. But that’s a grayer area.
What is less gray is for employers to require vaccination among their employees. While not strictly allowable, employers have a lot of leeway in making their employees lives miserable if they do not get vaccinated, so it can become a de facto requirement and would be legal. And in that case most people who have a job will have to become vaccinated. If the government puts pressure on employers to do this (with threats of strict restrictions and shutdowns), then again it will be a de facto vaccine mandate from the government.
In any case, the current mask policy seems more like a desincentivizer for skeptical people to get vaccinated. So I doubt we will see the vaccination rates increase much till that de facto mandate is put in place. My guess is this winter when Covid rates increase, the government will have all the justification it thinks it needs to do that.
