Mind you, at the moment, there will be many people who would be happy to pay to have the vaccine.

Perhaps the solution for prioritising:
First, care home residents and carers and healthcare professionals
Second, anyone over 70 who wants it
Third, anyone who will pay, say, $500.
Fourth, anyone who will put a refundable deposit down for the first dose, refundable against taking the second dose.
Then take stock and figure out how to encourage the rest of the population.
