There's a longstanding and well-established legal principle called "vicarious liability", which means that employers are personally liable for their employees.
The company is liable when the employee is acting in the name of the business. I can not think of an example of a company being held liable for an employee’s health choices.
An employer can be liable if an employee comes into work sick and exposes people to the illness. Likewise, an employer can be liable if one of its employees is an asymptomatic spreader of a communicable disease like hepatitis, and exposes someone to it.
An employer can be liable if one of its employees is an alcoholic and causes damage while drunk on the job.
OBVIOUSLY, THESE SITUATIONS ARE NOT ANALOGOUS, because the risks of coming into work sick/drunk are far greater than the risks of coming into work without a vaccine. Pro-vaxers will argue otherwise, and I hope courts swiftly shoot that logic down. Just throwing out some examples of how personal health choices can affect people performing their duties at work, since that's what you mentioned.
