I believe this could actually be constitutional for states to do, because voting is not actually a right established under the U.S. Constitution (like free speech or gun ownership). States are allowed to discriminate for non-prohibited reasons against non-protected classes. For example, states could enter registered voters into a lottery and randomly select 10% of them to be eligible to vote.

There may possibly be a right to autonomy in making healthcare decisions for oneself, although it isn't expressly stated in the Constitution. I think most conservatives think the cases supporting that position were wrongly decided anyway.
Theres already SCOTUS precedent that vaccine mandates are not unconstitutional (I think from the 1918 flu?)

Oh actually it was for smallpox back in 1905:
