Same kind of thing as when the CVS in Target gives out $5 or $10 Target credit if you get the flu shot during flu season there.
Anyone who WOULD get the vaccine, but is either unmotivated, or unsure, or merely hesitant and not actively against it - now has incentive to just get out there and do it.

Yes, I think you are saying it is cheap advertising for the company to get people to buy their product or visit their store. That is true - that is capitalism. Sadly MOST of the time companies focus on making more money regardless of the consequences to citizens.
I like that it is possible for them to advertise and support public benefits. Whether or not it is a vaccination, or some other public benefit doesn't matter. Companies becoming more responsible "citizens" is a refreshing change over "predatory capitalism" that is practiced by most large corporations.
