Insured Americans are being charged more than $100 for the newly rolled-out COVID-19 vaccines as insurers fail to update their plans, with some people deciding against taking the jab after learning about the cost.

Several posts on social media have claimed that people have been charged for a shot of the new vaccine at pharmacies.
