Haven't finished reading, but some nuggets (VICP=Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; much moar @ the ncbi link.):
Concerns about the decline in vaccine manufacturers in the US following increased litigation in the 1970s and 1980s that made vaccine production less attractive, the US government sought a strategy that would ensure an adequate vaccine supply at an affordable cost and a vaccine enterprise that would provide sufficient incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to continue to develop new vaccines [4]
The VICP covers all vaccines recommended by the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for routine administration to children and subject to the excise tax by federal law. The ACIP recommendations also determine which vaccines are covered by the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. Thus, as the ACIP increasingly recommends new pediatric vaccines, the list of covered vaccines increased
The VICP [Vaccine Injury Compensation Program] covers claims by individuals of all ages if the vaccine category is recommended for routine use in children (e.g., influenza vaccine), but it does not cover claims for vaccines that exclusively target adults (e.g., herpes zoster vaccines for shingles).

1802: Dr. Jean de Carro, “It is inconsistent for a government to encourage vaccination and not forbid inoculation.” This was among the first of many efforts to encourage vaccination over variolation for its improved success and safety.
(Variolation. In Asia, practitioners developed the technique of variolation—the deliberate infection with smallpox. Anon notes that there used to be 'measles' parties in their neighborhood so that all the kids had measles at the same time.)
1810: Italian Physician Uses Cows for Vaccine Production Gennaro Galbiati, director of the vaccine service in Naples, Italy, began retrovaccinating cows with human vaccine lymph. He then vaccinated people with the resulting animal lymph.
