Depends on the specific state Constitution. But there is no authorization for the federal government to mandate vaccines.

The Wisconsin State Supreme Court recently invalidated a shut down and mask order issued by the Governor, under his emergency powers provisions. The court stated that a governor's emergency powers cannot be unlimited and must be ratified by the legislature. In Jacobson v. Mass, it was a an act of the legislature, and the Supreme Court held it to be valid.
Even if forced vaccinations are legal in state constitutions, the reality would go something like this:
