The COVID-19 vaccine is completely effective. Recipients incur no expenses. There is no charge for the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine is paid for by federal funds from the National Institute of Health (NIH). It's expected to be available for purchase this fall. In the meantime, there are efforts underway to develop and test vaccines that may provide protection from COVID-19 if and when the time comes to release a licensed product. These experimental vaccines are still in the research and development stage so their availability and price haven't been determined yet. In conclusion, the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States will be free. There are no charges for anyone who wants to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
