8. I don't even know if the embassy does vaccinations

For all I know, they have a reciprocal agreement with the German government, and the embassy personal gets special priority from the host government.

The embassy is at the other end of Germany, in Berlin, near the Polish border. I am in the Düsseldorf area, near the Dutch border. There is an American consulate in Düsseldorf, but it is a one-horse operation in a diplomatic backwater, and all they do is facilitate business appointments, and that kind of thing. If you want anything really done, you have to go down to the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt. They are still on almost full lockdown, and you need an appointment just to get an appointment.
