Hi! We'll break this out a little, since you'll probably be interested in both:
VACCINE: We absolutely encourage this! The only catch is that it would take some time to develop and spread amongst the citizens and recruits, so everyone who signed up to get sick still has the opportunity to do so. A vaccine can be developed using either a living or dead sample; naturally, the first would be easier to find, but more risky to handle.
Just as a reminder, a vaccine will not help those who are already infected, as it is strictly a preventative measure, but it may help free up resources for a cure as well!
CURE: A cure will be more difficult to synthesize, but not impossible in the future. We'll be addressing this more clearly on the next log, so stay tuned.
In both cases, teamwork will be critical, as no one character will have the resources or know-how to accomplish this -- so we ask that any plots be open to all characters! We strongly suggest that interested players create a post on the OOC comm for plotting, which we'd be happy to plurk. We can also help answer any questions and provide direction as necessary.
Also, unfortunately, there is no lesser virus that can combat the Bristol strain.
