[edited]. jimjamuser has posted something with an easily Googled claim. So I used the Google and found:

AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19 | American Medical Association

This is a survey report from early June being done by the AMA of practicing doctors in the USA using the WebMD physician panel. It was not a random survey, it was not Gallup quality. But it is the best data available. You might argue that those physicians who participate in a WebMD panel are better at keeping up to date on new information, or not.

The result of their survey which was 1/2 primary care and 1/2 specialists was that per the press release

AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19


So I think, unless you have newer better information with a link, jim's statement looks pretty good. I will allow that over 96% does not mean 97%. It could be 96.1% But being that it was done in early June, the number can only have gone up since then.
