No, they are subsidizing ALL vaccinations. There is no charge to the US
citizen. If you have insurance they may bill your insurance for giving
the injection but not for the vaccine itself as the government is paying
for it. Health Resources and Services Administrations Provider Relief Fund

If, say, a doctor or pharmacy give the injection they can bill the
government for $40 per shot for doing the stab. It was $23 but it was
recently increased.

No guessing, just the facts.
