I need to check WHO and CDC guidance on vaccine administration in the 1980s. Current guidance is pregnant and nursing mothers absolutely no children under 1 and children under 18 only in emergencies. Freezing pregnant woman and infants will be a new and desperate issue. The older children will be fairly standard.
This will mean the base's final shutdown steps will be conducted by a group of new or soon to be mothers and the older children who were standing up well to the stress.
This leaves to three possible courses of action. They could decide to try and run the base hoping for a cure for the rest of the project in time to salvage the project.
They could leave prime and try to get to another base or some other haven
Finally they can get frozen.
Good story hooks in any case
