I think there's an easier explanation than national security. There's a huge variety of research going on at all the National Labs. Their place within the Department of Energy motivates the development of unique energy-related resources (supercomputing, particle accelerators, you name it) which then find uses in fields like biology. At first glance, it looks like LANL's computing expertise facilitated this vaccine research.
