My wife can't get because she has health issues, and there thousands probably millions just like her. Herd immunity is a pipe dream. I been running around since this started, no mask, no sanitizing and I haven't even had so much as a cold this whole time..
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health believes herd immunity is achievable if enough people will get vaccinated. Just like chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, smallpox, etcetera because vaccines provide immunity to most recipients which prevents disease, spread, and the chance for vaccine resistant mutations. But, we have to overcome people’s hesitancy to get vaccinated through education.
Pennsylvania is not publishing their data. But, in Georgia, breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people resulting in hospitalizations is 0.1% of total Covid hospitalizations. And the number is 0.2% for deaths. Which means over 99% of patients hospitalized or dying from Covid in Georgia are unvaccinated.

Not even to help protect your wife from getting Covid?
Is there anything your doctor could tell you which could change your mind?
