It's not a loss leader, it's literally revenue positive to pay for everyone to get a vaccine from the insurance company's perspective!

One guy needing intensive care pays for a whole bunch of vaccines.

For the insured, sure. For the uninsured, I think it's done as a loss leader / community benefit by the store/pharmacy.
