We also saw them give Claire the vaccine in the episode where she flashes back to when they abducted her. They gave her the vaccine to keep the baby safe. It's one of the reasons she went back to the medical hatch.
If we are to follow the suggestions on the websites, it seems there was an outbreak of some sort.
Personally I think it is either some sort of "mind control" thing or just another test (like the buttons) to keep people doing things so they can be studied while doing them. I doubt it is a vaccine or the survivors would be showing signs by now (I say this because Desmond seems genuinely surprised that they aren't sick yet).
As for the hiatus vs. reruns... I think we are going to see more of this sort of thing in the future. Either shows will run in the fall and again in the spring with a hiatus rather than a spate of reruns OR they will run in their entirety much in the way that "24" or the reality shows do.
By the way, welcome to the club Ratbastid and Lurkette!
