No, it’s not a HIPAA violation to ask if someone is vaccinated

In many (but not all) cases, they can’t disclose your health records to someone else without your permission, Haines said. But your boss asking whether you’ve been vaccinated? Not a HIPAA violation. A supermarket or movie theater asking the same question? Not a HIPAA violation, she said.
That doesn’t mean all of those examples are necessarily okay or even legal, Haines said. But they’re not covered by HIPAA.
Oh, and one thing that’s most certainly not a HIPAA violation? You spilling the beans about your own health history, whether vaccinations or something else.
“You cannot violate your own privacy, because that’s your decision,” Haines said.

Someone with a shot does nothing to prevent the spread. It simply increases their own chance of surviving the illness. You are more likely to catch covid from someone who is vaccinated as they're more likely to be asymptomatic and spreading.

TSgt Phillip L. - A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) are less likely to have asymptomatic infection or to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others. Studies are underway to learn more about the benefits of Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine. However, the risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/fully-vaccinated-people.html
