I agree that "society" is vague. In most places, it means "governments",
given that they regulate vaccine testing, and typically need to
jawbone/bribe pharmaceutical firms to develop vaccines (which are
usually not very profitable, and litigation magnets).

But I suppose, in your happy anarchy, it could mean whatever cabrón
develops some vaccine.
