It would be nice to just be automatically vaccinated for everything just by hanging out.

That’s what you call a viral vector. Apparently the Sputnik V vaccine for COVID used this approach.
Edit: Sorry, wait, do you mean like designing a viral vector-based vaccine and spraying it into the air to vaccinate everyone around? That seems like it’d run afoul of some kind of ethics things.
I mean, for example, engineering a rhinovirus that spreads normally, but is able to inoculate hosts against zika.
Got it. So then yes, I’d say it’s possible from a technical standpoint. But you really ought not to do it.
