That’s the price for the US I think. It doesn’t give a price for the UK. Google tells me that flu jabs in the US cost around $70 without insurance. Like you said, flu jabs here are £10-15 for those not eligible for free ones. If the covid jabs follow the same pattern they shouldn’t be more than £20. At least I really hope that’s the case, £100 a shot will surely out-price 50%+ of people that pay for flu jabs.

You are right - I clearly missed the "in the US" bit of the paragraph!

[Edit] or I read the TLDR bot version, which omitted this information

Tbf, even the full version is slightly unclear unless you read it carefully.

Edit: I’m the same person you replied to, I just forgot to switch from mod account to normal account.

NHS pays Pfizer $22-27 per dose (and that is claimed to be "most expensive" price) so can't imagine it being more than £30
