It makes sense to vaccinate everyone because
a) everyone, even healthy people in their 20s and 30s, can suffer long-COVID, increased rate of stroke, increased rate of heart disease
b) having a large % of vaccinated people in the community acts as a "ring" of protection around medically high risk people because it helps cut down on transmission

Headline's misleading. CDC has said it's recommended for anyone over 6 months. If the shots aren't covered by private health insurance or medicare, retail price is around $100 per dose. CDC has stated that they'll work with communities to provide free or low-cost doses to help transition because the federal emergency is "over."
