Personally I feel, insuring individuals against COVID-19 or helping people to get vaccines or sending other supports can be better handled locally by local affiliates (or local committees as proposed by Tito, whichevers seems fit) instead of a central organization like WMF. Local affiliates have better information about the vulnerable section of the community, government orders concerning the available vaccines, local market value of insurance premiums, vaccines, disinfectants etc. Sometimes they even have the money and/or the intention to extend this kind of support too, all they need is just a permission from the donor i.e. WMF Grants team.
The more I think about this, the more I come to think that we should at least attempt it.
It might be unusual for a nonprofit to provide this kind of support to its volunteers, but this is a truly exceptional situation. And while the entire world is struggling with Covid, the nature of the struggle is deeply different in most wealthy countries compared to what India is going through now. And India will probably not be the last nation to see its healthcare system not just threatened but entirely overwhelmed.
Of course the WMF is not going to be able to start airlifting Wikimedia-branded vaccines or oxygen supplies, but there must be some form practical help that can be given to support Wikimedia volunteers.
