Why aren’t Moderna and Pfizer charging people to take the COVID vaccine?

Answer 1

If you're rich and can afford to pay for your vaccine, then good for you.

Answer 2

Because governments are paying them to provide it.

It's your tax money that's paying, after all.

Answer 3

Worldwide pandemic,  hello.

Answer 4

Governments are paying big Pharma (with your tax dollars) and not directly charging you.

Answer 5

First of all, it's a lot  more important right now to get people vaccinated and not worry about profits--second, the government and insurance companies have paid for the vaccine already. Profits to both companies may be a little less than if they simply charged everyone, but not by much. Trust me--those big pharm companies will make plenty of money.

Answer 10
