1) Vaccines are a $1,000,000 invention. That's -9 and 1d days for a Gadgeteer.
2) No. Variants merely require adaptations for both vaccines and antidotes.
3) A dose (possibly more if you roll VERY well because it's an one-shot item) plus a repeatable "recipe" that simply requires "parts" and a roll.
