Reminds me sort of like in Seiken Densetsu 3 you could classchange along the paths "Light" or "Dark", twice...
Looking through my index, I find very few VIRUS Digimon that actually do become Vaccine types (except Cherubimon in Frontier who was briefly changed back from his "corrupted" form into the "Vaccine" Cherubimon) through NORMAL evolution.
Wormmon can become Bullmon (Virus -> Vaccine) through an Armor evolution, and CAN become Angemon (Vaccine only), Airdramon (Vaccine only), Coatlmon (Armor evolution), Puttimon (Armor evolution), Revolmon, Sorcerymon, and XV-mon (all of these are Vaccine only).
It's far more common to find Digimon which go from Vaccine to Virus, which leads to my theory: Virus digimon are partly a result of a corruption of parameters, and partly a result of their nature. At low levels it's purely their nature, I believe, but because many Rookie Digimon can evolve from Virus to Vaccine, I think the "corruption" can be fixed, sort of a nurture vs. nature thing.
It's hard to understand exactly how it all works out, but I think level has a lot to do with the attribute -- few, if any, Champion level Viruses become Vaccines, though a number of Vaccine Digimon can become viruses.
