The decision of an individual lawyer doesn't really have any meaning. I've heard other lawyers give the opposite opinion. The ultimate answer will be had through a legal ruling from a judge (and probably after appeals going all the way up to whichever is the highest court for this kind of thing).
Unless someone has a genuine specific reason (health most likely for a few, religion possibly but can't see how it would be against most common religions as there are no animal products) for declining a vaccine then it's unlikely to be illegal to use it to discriminate against potential employees. It may be different for existing employees (e.g. you can't sack someone for refusing to have the vaccine). The individual job may matter too.
