Any time except Rapid Vaccine Deployment, and none costs an action. You cannot interrupt the resolution of a drawn card, such as an Infection card or Epidemic. After one card is resolved and before the next, play is fine, including between Mutation Events, Epidemics or an Epidemic's Infect step and the Infections. Resilient Population is the one explicit exception.
