Mandatory vaccination is about the good of the state/society which should override personal rights and freedoms.

Well, this is desirable to a degree, but if you take this idea all the way, you get totalitarianism.

No, totalitarianism is not for the good of society. And if it were, then it wouldn't be so bad after all.

No, it's to a large extent about the rights of people who cannot be effectively vaccinated due to pre-existing medical conditions, and therefore have to rely on herd immunity, and the rights of people who cannot receive needed health care because hospitals are filled with unvaccinated Covid-19 patients.
