Corrected entry: In the movie, the medicine to cure the virus is called a vaccine. But vaccines can not cure someone who already has a virus: they can only cure someone if administered before the symptoms occur.

Correction: This is representative of Neville's state of mind. He failed to make a working vaccine back when a vaccine would've done some good (before the virus had dominated the planet and there were still people who could be administered with it). His mind is stuck on this failure and he can't rest until he makes up for it, so he repeatedly refers to it as a vaccine due to being stuck in the past.
