If the Trump administration follows through and makes modern vaccines difficult to get, the simplest option for US citizens will be to take a brief trip over the border to Canada or Mexico and pay out of pocket for a dose. Generally vaccines are cheap enough, even the fancy ones, that the per-dose cost is negligible compared to the travel. You can even make it a short vacation and time the shot at the end, so the full impact and recovery time kicks in once you're back home.
There's some intense irony here that "vaccine tourism" used to be an active economic boost for the US (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/covid-shot-tourism-latin-americans-are-traveling-us-vaccines-rcna909 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/covid-shot-tourism-latin...), and now it's going to be very much the other way around.
