Are you mixing things up? Harker's fiancée is Mina, not Lucy. And the novel is quite clear that since Dracula is dead, she's no longer going to become a vampire.

Imagine if viruses actually worked like that and you just had to kill patient 0 to cure everybody of covid. There would be so much witch hunting.
