No one is compelling a Covid-19 vaccine at this time. This is true.
However, the Supreme Court decided in 1905 that the rights of the many outweigh the rights of the few, or the one. You can absolutely be dragged out of the house by armed vaccinators and given the shot on your own front lawn if your elected representative decide it so.

Well, that's over a hundred years ago when we were still in a near dark age as related to infectious disease. I wouldn't expect that case to stand today. Nonetheless, that specific case does not involve compelling anyone to take a vaccine, but instead whether or not it was constitutiona to fine someone for refusing to do so.
