That is not how rights work. Rights are something you are innately born with that can only be taken away and not granted, so if you want to know your rights, ask if you were out in the middle of the wild by yourself, would you be able to do it?

Privledges on the other hand are things that are given to you and can be taken away from you. You do not naturally have these things, when by yourself. It is a Privledge to be able to vote, one fought by your ancestors and paid in blood. All privledges have a price associated with them, one that is typically paid from others. Be grateful for your privledges.

And finally there're duties. Duties are things you must do to make sure that you maintain your rights and/or privledges. To maintain your right to your 2nd amendment, you must stop people from taking your gun. That is your duty. To make sure everyone has a right to live, you must not murder. (though, if someone impedes on your rights, they in turn forfeit their own)

In terms of the vaccine, you have a Privledge to be able to take it, paid by the tax payers. In fact, it can be said that it is your right to not get the vaccine, as you have the right to yourself and to your body. (With the notable exception of abortion as the baby has a right to live and it is your duty that if you get pregnant to have the child). In the natural world, you get to decide if you eat poisonous berries or not.
