The administration expects the vaccine will be free for most individuals, either through a provider relief fund reimbursement for the uninsured, through private plans or Medicaid. Details are still being worked out for Medicare fee-for-service coverage.
HHS officials said in a worst-case scenario it would be $3.50 out of consumers' pockets, and that the government is working to eliminate that.

A top Senate Democrat called the plan incomplete. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the appropriations subcommittee that funds HHS and a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said the plan is "a long-overdue step forward, but there is still more to do."
"It’s clear that this is still not the kind of comprehensive, end-to-end national plan I’ve called for and that we desperately need," she said. "We are still missing important details on research and review, like what standards FDA will use to authorize a vaccine for emergency use … how we make sure disparities are addressed in clinical trials, and manufacturing, like how we address supply chain issues and avoid bottlenecks. And we still need more details on addressing disparities."
Harald Schmidt, a University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist and researcher in vaccination, raised concerns about a lack of specificity in the plan's prioritization of Black communities.
