It'll probably stop shortly after France achieves a high enough level of vaccination to (more or less) stop community spread.

Based on the UK, Israel and the US, 60% looks like it gets you pretty close to that.

Which is where we are now apparently, 60%! https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/us-reaches-60-adults-d...

Right. The outbreak in Michigan is subsiding even as people are doing less mitigation, for instance.

With ~75 million children in the US, we aren't quite at 60% of the population though. Hopefully the number of vaccinated goes up quite a bit more.

Yup, even Denmark has recently announced plans to phase out the vaccine pass in a matter of months.

Yes, but it is going to phased out when everybody who wants to has had the shot, not when the most vulnerable has had it, over we get over 60%.
