I have to disagree @Rive. In a pandemic with a respiratory virus where vaccines and masks offer simple ways to take precautions no way do I think the therapist has a right to claim its protected health info, I bet she doesnt even understand HIPAA.

When Can I See My Therapist in Person Again After Being Fully Vaccinated?

Factors to Consider
The decision to see your therapist in person depends on your personal comfort levels and risk perception.
“When you can see your therapist in person after the vaccine would be up to [your] therapist and you, to be honest, and what protocols they have in place,” Jessi Gold, MD, MS, assistant professor at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis Department of Psychiatry, tells Verywell. “You might be vaccinated but still not convinced you can't bring back a new strain to a sick child or family member at home, so that might not make you want to see your therapist in person or may make you more cautious about safety protocols.”
Experts recommend that you ask about your therapist’s vaccination status before deciding to see them in person. To be on the safe side, they should be fully vaccinated as well.
“Most healthcare providers have now been offered vaccines, but many have chosen not to be immunized or to delay immunization," Beyrer says. "Since they may have considerable exposure due to their occupation, clients should not be meeting face-to-face with unimmunized therapists."

Your T is right btw, medical information does not have to be disclosed. It is private and protected information. I don't see how her vaccination status should impact your wearing a mask or not though. It is not because one is vaccinated that one can't catch it nor transmit it...
What I do find strange is her not wearing a mask to protect her clients (then again, she may have reasons for that).
I would also not project that she was religious or homophobic or the reason she is referring you out. You don't know that for sure,
