I'm not saying this is the plan, but if they were going full on tyranny they would first inject all the willing, then apply as much social pressure as they could to get more. Then they would demonize the holdouts until new laws could be passed to force others to comply, like fines and travel restrictions, school and work bans. And only at the end move in to force it on the rest.
