The reason that it's not covered is that insurance plans don't cover damages caused by experimental procedures that the insured chose to participate in. Recall that the vaccine is not FDA approved for children (only adults), it only has an emergency use authorization for children.

That is not true. Health insurance in the US has to cover all healthcare, but not experimental treatment.

Suppose the insured did use a non evidence supported vaccine or whatever, the vaccine itself would not be covered by insurance, but the healthcare needed by the damage caused by the use of unsupported medicine would be covered.

Similarly, health insurance has to pay for your healthcare if you get into a car accident and do not have sufficient auto insurance to pay for your healthcare costs.

Falling while skiing is not FDA approved. A woodcutting axe applied to the hand is not FDA approved. Drinking bleach is not FDA approved. And yet, health insurance will cover medical complications arising from any of these actions.
