We study the market for vaccinations considering income heterogeneity on the demand side and monopoly power on the supply side. A monopolist has an incentive to exploit the external effect of vaccinations and leave the poor susceptible in order to increase the willingness to pay of the rich. If the income differential is large, then the problem of vaccination discrimination is large. Discrimination disappears when income is distributed more equally. Pigouvian subsidies may even make things worse. If the poor are covered in a mandatory vaccination program, the disease can be eradicated
