To clarify: vampiric touch is a spell, requiring you to take the [Tooltip Not Found] action. In order to use Extra Attack, you must take the Attack action. On the turns succeeding the casting, you have the option to take a special action granted by the spell. This is not the Attack action.

That doesn't fully clarify it.
The spell allows you to attack again if it misses. the answer is right in the spell text itself. You're not using the Cast a Spell action to make repeated attckes with it after a miss. Nor are you using the Attack Action. Instead you're using a generic action. Why?
"Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action."
The spell tells you what is required. As "an action" you can attack with it again. That is a generic non-specified action.
It is apparently so hard to program Aberrant Mind and Clockwork Soul spell-swapping into dndbeyond they had to remake the game without it rather than implement it.

After the first round it states you can make the attack again could the attack be made as a part of mutiattack as it is not casting the spell.
No, the attack Granted by the spell requires your action, as in your full action, to perform. Extra attack would only use part of your action.

I'm probably laughing.
