Cool idea that doesn't just involve making more garlic (although it does involve that)
Allicin is a chemical found in garlic that has medical uses, in addition to making garlic smell and junk.
Why not make it something medbay carries for cough treatment, food poisoning, and probably other stuff it can be used for.
A doctor can give it to someone for food poisoning instead of just making them sleep, but now the station has a readily availible substiance for vampires.
Make Allicin sorta effective against vampires (but less effective then holy water, which sets them on fire) as a way for doctors to sorta find vampires and maybe stun/hurt them a bit.
Because of the fact that giving doctors a super effective chemical to fight vampires with is kinda dumb, and in real life allicin breaks down quickly, give it a super high burn through rate when injected, so you either need a lot to kill a vampire, or use it for detecting the vampire far faster then holy water, because you can readily grow garlic everywhere.
Chef could slip some in food and anyone who starts acting like the garlic has made them sick or something can be sprayed at with holy water.
That's my probably dumb vampire suggestion.
