Each SIM is independent of the other SIMs on the phone. Just contact Verizon, get the eSIM installed, and don't ask them about your Vodafone SIM. Then you can put in your Vodaphone SIM and confirm it is working before you go abroad.
Ok thank you, I'll give that a go. I'll report back in case it's of use to others...
EDIT: The phone is unlocked. I bought it directly from Apple.
