Medical: vampires are just people affected by rabies.

People with rabies become adverse to strong odors (like garlic) or stimuli, like watching himself in the mirror. Biting of course is part of the symptoms and the disease is transmitted through bites.

After death it's common for these people to have blood oozing from their mouth, as if they bite someone just before.

And guess what nocturnal animal is carrying rabies ? Vampire bats.

add to that the fact that rabbies victims are unable to sleep because their throat swells up too much and have the feeling of constant thirst

And holy water isn't their weakness, any water is because of hydrophobia.
