They are offered to everyone. I'm not sure why you think that is a bad thing.

It is typically free if you have any kind of insurance.

    Most people don't have insurance. I certainly don't. Why would you have health insurance in a country with free healthcare?

    I never said they were a bad thing. Just never heard of people getting them who aren't elderly. Generally because it's something you have to pay for and nobody likes needles anyway.

    I'm surprised a country with free health care doesn't provide free vaccines.

    If US insurance companies cover vaccines, you can bet your ass they've done the math and it saves them money over just paying for the people that get sick...
