Is vaccination utilitarian?

One of the arguments for vaccination is that it saves more lives than damages. There are rare cases when vaccination can cause health issues. The reason to support vaccination anyway is that it saves significantly more lives. I find it similar to trolley problem. So does it make vaccination same to solution of the trolley problem by utilitarians? My second question is: what are examples of non-utilitarian reasoning that support vaccination?

The reasoning you just gave appears sufficient. It's not like caring about lives is something uniquely utilitarian and that everyone who's ever cared about lives has been a utilitarian or anything like that.

In any case, this is not very much like the trolley problem. For one reason why, the doing-allowing distinction you're calling attention to is not strong enough to make the sort of ratio here a dilemma. Per the CDC, severe side effects have an incidence rate of one in a million.
