That would still be your free will. You'd still be presented with a choice:

A) Don't do the thing you don't want to (Vaccination)

- or -

B) Don't do the thing that having a vaccination would let you do.

That's still freedom of choice - you're free to decide what you want more. Having constraints on you isn't removing your free will.

that’s barely freedom of choice. a robber pulling a gun on you and saying your money or your life isn’t what any reasonable person interprets as free will. free will would be not going to jail or being banned from society if you chose not to take the vaccine.
Is there any such discussion about being banned from society or going to jail? That seems incredibly hyperbolic. What I've heard is discussions of things like cruises and international travel to certain destination, which are entirely optional activities.
