In those areas, has the rate of decline just been consistently downward? Has vaccine introduction had any measurable impact?

Yes. I follow the daily numbers for my county.

The vaccines seem to have an impact, but it is hard to be sure. There are a lot less old (>65) in the new infected list, which used to dominate the list. The younger groups seems to be be about even by age group. However there are many potential confounding factors, and I haven't done a proper statistical analysis so I don't want to claim something.
