A potent medicine capable of curing the body of disease. A relatively modern invention compared to the traditional potion or antidote, it enters the drinker's bloodstream to increase their immunity to a number of viruses and contagions. Not yet under mass production, it is nowhere to be found at provisioners, being the sole domain of aristocrats and high-ranking officials with the influence and coin to acquire it.

Etymology[]
A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins.
The item's renaming in later revisions of Final Fantasy XII appears to attempt to differentiate the realistic and defined intrinsic difference between a cure and a vaccine, as cures like serums and medicines are meant for direct treatment on disease, while a vaccine is meant for a disease's prevention by immunity.
