Why not just test mothers? Only give the vaccine to the infants of infected mothers?

Because that's not the only way that it can be spread. It can also be spread via exposure to the blood and saliva of someone who is infected. Given the high mortality rate, it seems wise policy to vaccinate against it.

With regards to your situation, you have my sympathies. It does seem, though, that the time disconnect between vaccination and developing the elevated liver enzymes that it might be pointing to something else. And honestly I don't know how I would feel since I have never been in that situation.
