They know paying for your COVID-19 vaccine will cost a lot less than treating you for a symptomatic COVID-19 infection.

I'm more curious with multiple vaccines being talked up what and who will determine which vaccine goes where. I don't feel I dare get attached (or opposed) to any one virus since I don't anticipate cafeteria-style dissemination.

From the CDC website:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html#:~:text=Vaccine%20doses%20purchased%20with%20US,the%20shot%20to%20someone.

Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be given to the American people at no cost. However, vaccination providers will be able to charge an administration fee for giving the shot to someone. Vaccine providers can get this fee reimbursed by the patient’s public or private insurance company or, for uninsured patients, by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.
