If an actual epidemic is handled in the same way as everything else in the for-profit medical system then:
A doctor's appointment would be required, each dose of vaccine would be discussed, a diagnosis of disease required, and with 'informed' consent an individualised treatment would be agreed.
A prescription most likely would be written and the injection delivered at the chosen pharmacy.
After the billing process with the built-in profit margins the cost would end up with a certain amount paid by the insurance company from the monthly premiums and the deductible would be paid by the patient.
Medicaid for the 29-64 age range apparently does not cover screening as a rule, so it claims, just treatment, so the person would have to get ill first.
