When you as a government know for certain there's a World War coming but don't want your citizens to spill the beans that you know...
Is how I'd read it.
I mean, you can't just say "here, this shot is to protect you from BRIC's current bioweapon arsenal, but don't tell anyone we know they're about to strike." You'd get Antifa calling the Kremlin overnight.
I'm more of the opinion that, in order to preserve infrastructure, there was a simulated war and the vaccines are a way to physically kill in meatspace the virtual casualties in SimSpace.
