Without taking a side or another.. I just want to note that the definition you shared starts with "preventive" which is the point GP is focusing on.

I'm not taking a side either, but seeing as drug companies are shielded from liability w/ vaccines, if I was a drug company I would be motivated to lobby broadening the definition. it would just be good business.

Drug companies are only shielded for specific vaccines deemed necessary countermeasures. It isn’t automatic for all vaccines; the COVID vaccines had to be deliberately added to the list via a formal process.
