Introduce Vaccine

This behavior will introduce a vaccine into a population being infected with a virus. This behavior requires there to be a "strain" field on infected agents which contains a bitstring (representing a virus genome).

This behavior will introduce a vaccine into a population being infected with a virus. This behavior requires there to be a "strain" field on infected agents which contains a bitstring (representing a virus genome).

This behavior will identify the most prevalent strain in a population, choose a "gene" from the bitstring, and cause agents to be immune to strains which match the chosen gene. Agents will no longer be able to be infected by any of those strains.

This behavior requires the "introduce_vaccine_step" to be set in properties. The mutate behavior pairs well by allowing viruses form different strains by mutating their genome bitstrings.
