Companies like moderna and Pfizer use differential pricing depending on the ability of countries to pay - ethical considerations. Some countries in the middle might wonder why certain others are paying less, so NDA has a reason. That being said, I'm certain that the US government can look at their pricing, confidentially of course.

Maybe true, however at the very least the companies know that such a clause is also beneficial to their customers who want to conceal the contract details.  It does put the company and the country not as the scapegoat for why the countries don't disclose.  I would imagine that the vaccine companies are more than happy to play the villian role allowing their customer countries to escape scrutiny.  So maybe a dual purpose but I think that the companies are doing the countries more of a favor.  One thing for sure, you and I will never know the full and complete answer.
