We can't mandate health treatments simply because there shouldn't be a need to coerce people into improving their health. Also because we don't know what the boundaries are. To an extreme extreme we will mandate that people should not consume higher more than the recommended fat daily intake.
Another very valid reason preventing a mandate: millions of people are opposing that vaccine, since the article takes it as the main example. They aren't campaigning for forbidding the vaccine, they are ferociously opposed to being forced to take it. It should make everyone think very carefully when not only a few lunatics who don't believe in science are outraged, but a decent portion of the population express their anger towards the idea of mandating medical treatments/preventions.
It is not that we can't mandate Anything. We've mandated that no one shall assassinate, steal, fraud, corrupt, partake in incestuous and pedophile activities, and many other things that make society as a whole go backwards without much doubt. Go after those who get away with infractions, that would be a better start.
