It would be too demanding and inefficient for the federal government to do everything for everyone outside of existing programs like Medicare or the VA. Healthcare providers should be involved in procurement and distribution to the general population, and insurance companies should pay for it. In the case of uninsured people, the federal government should reimburse healthcare providers, because it's within the immediate national interest to do so.
I can understand using the military, with its organizational infrastructure and manpower, to achieve certain domestic goals, but I don't see how that applies to distributing a vaccine. Maybe using the Civil Air Patrol to deliver vaccines and healthcare professionals to remote communities or something like that, at most.
