The New York Times says: "Old vaccines have been reformulated with higher costs. New ones have entered the market at once-unthinkable prices. Together, since 1986, they have pushed up the average cost to fully vaccinate a child with private insurance to the age of 18 to $2,192 from $100, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even with deep discounts, the costs for the federal government, which buys half of all vaccines for the nation's children, have increased 15-fold during that period."

$2,192 / 18 = $122 per child per year on average. The government pays for half, making it $61 per child per year on average. 74,293,00 children * $61 = $4,531,915,336.
