For work? No risking it. For a fun vacation? Risking it 😎
If I did not know the vaccination status of who I would interact with, I would go home, wait it out for a couple of weeks, and reevaluate as things become clearer.
Mainly because my personal tolerance for getting sick is low, and my tolerance for getting sick from work is even lower. (I love my job, but not that much).
Knowing a few vaccinated friends that are ill right now has me leaning on the safer side. They’re home with fever and chills and even if it’s rare, I ain’t dealing with that this summer because some client got me sick if I don’t have to.

Go home?

I would travel if it were me. Should be fine either way. I don’t think it’s a big personal risk for vaccinated people.

I would not risk it, even being fully vaccinated. I just had 3 fully vaccinated friends come down with the delta and lambda variants. All had symptoms. One infected his entire extended family. No, I’m just not taking the risk.

Simple call out is do what you are comfortable with, but understand there are consequences for those decisions. If your employer needs you on-site and you don’t want to then they will get to ultimately make the decision on your employment.
The call out is if you refuse to be on-site then that means someone else needs to be and why are you more special than another. Your judgement on whether the work can be done remote is irrelevant because it’s not your decision to make.
You can still get sick if you’re vaccinated so be prepared to quarantine if you do get sick to avoid infecting more vulnerable people. Just be smart, wear a mask and use hand sanitizer. If you’re not comfortable, don’t go.
Breakthrough infections are rare. I'd travel because I know my risk of a serious infection is probably lower than a serious accident on the way to the client site.
I also want to travel. If you do not, then you should absolutely use this as your personal reason.
Did travel start already at consulting firms? Is Deloitte the only one allowing travel currently?
Breakthrough infections are rare, but if you do get sick, it's statistically highly likely you'll just get mild symptoms like a cold.
EVEN if the US (or any country) is 90% vaccinated variants will still pop up in less vaccinated countries and make their way around the world. Boosters will be a thing soon, yet getting COVID symptoms at some point is inevitable. If you're vaccinated its fine.
