Morphology
The MWE's meaning — the organized distribution and administration of vaccines — is directly and compositionally derived from 'vaccine' (a substance that induces an immune response) plus 'rollout' (the public release or implementation of a program). This straightforward noun–noun combination follows a common compositional pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The noun vaccine rollout uses rollout like rolling out a carpet across a floor, creating the picture of vaccines being sent out and set up across a country. So, it means 'the organized sending and giving of vaccines to people'.
