If your users will really use it and not turn it off, try to convince
them that they should be running Vaccine. If you can, try to set up a
"cleanup station" as recommended by the Disinfectant doc. Other than
that, sounds like you've got it well under control. I only make these
suggestions in case someone shows up with Scores, which Immunity WON'T
block.
