Just for comparison info:

How much each dose will cost
The cost for each dose ranges from $3 to $37, depending on the vaccine.
Moderna, a two-dose vaccine, recently announced each dose will go for around $32 to $37.
The Pfizer vaccine, also given in two doses, is expected to cost $19.50 a dose.
Each dose for Johnson & Johnson’s two-dose vaccine will cost an estimated $10, and AstraZeneca’s two-dose vaccine could be the cheapest at just $3 to $4 a dose.
Novavax’s two-dose vaccine is estimated to be $16 a dose.
No (USA) individuals — regardless of whether they’re uninsured, have private health insurance, or have Medicare or Medicaid — will pay out of pocket for the vaccine itself, federal health officials have previously stated.
“Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be given to the American people at no cost,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source states.
Certain vaccine providers may charge an administration fee for giving the shot, but individuals can have that fee reimbursed.
“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,” the CDC states.

"Old lives matter" That's what matters.

 

Most people get easily fatigued by repetition - even when danger lurks. But with suggestions that herd immunity in this country via vaccination may not be achieved for 5 years (btw, sinovac is proving only 50% effective and only 30% of Filipinos seem willing to have any of the vaccines - add to which possible viral mutation and concerns I can see about all the vaccines currently available*) fatigue is only going to get worse. I speculate if wealthy countries can achieve herd immunity soon, many foreigners may leave those countries where the virus is virtually endemic (around all the time).

* My concerns are based on that all the vaccines in use are, as far as I am aware, made using genetic material or live virus (even though attenuated (weakened)). Live polio vaccines have mutated and caused new strains of polio and surely there is a risk putting genetic material (which is simply a template to make more of itself and to make proteins) into our cells.

I will wait for a vaccine based on non-genetic material (e.g. protein coat). I would go for a totally killed vaccine except that there is no guarantee all the virus was killed (possibly eliminate that risk by sound batch testing).
