In the scheme of US healthcare, it's less than a drop in a bucket.

Let's assume the $24 billion is only the value of vaccines in the US (even though that's actually the global number). The cost of healthcare in the US has been estimated at $3.4 trillion per year. So vaccines make up a whopping 0.7%. Which is a gross overestimate given the disclaimer regarding the global value of vaccines rather than just that in the US.
