How vaccination policy and a vaccine's biology are different subjects

From the opening

A vaccine's biology is the account of how an antigen meets an immune system and what protection, if any, follows in that body. Vaccination policy is the set of public rules about who is offered the shot, at what age, at whose expense, and with what legal consequence for refusal. The opening covers immune effect is not a statute, school rules sit on top of vials, and access can block a working product.

The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
