Pay people $250 to receive the first dose and another $250 for the second dose. In cash, on site, immediately after you get your shot. Individuals aged 16 and over only. No citizenship test: give the money to undocumented immigrants too, as long as they receive the vaccine. Pay for it with deficit spending.

Too low. $1000 per shot. And yes cash, no prepaid debit card.
That will just result in people who are poor trying to fake Identification in order to get vaccinated 3rd, 4th time. Particularly undocumented immigrants, whom aren't in any databases. The side effects of taking several doses is not known, but is probably not super good for you.
Ah, once again "the poors" are the bad actors who ruin it for everyone, eh?
It's wise to look at second order effects - it's one of the primary ways you can sperate good policy from virtue signaling.
