Although, I know it's not a payout. They will probably make posters or something.

Vaccines aren't free. I believe the vaccine that Canada's using is about $75 CAD per person for the doses, plus the costs of administering it. It doesn't take long to get into the hundreds of millions of dollars at that price, particularly if Canada is also supplying doses to places that can't afford them.
