Painting vinyl wallcovering troubles

I'm facing painting over vinyl wallcovering in a hospital setting. I began with a test area, using "Gripper" water based primer as a first coat. All was fine until I applied a topcoat of latex paint- then bubbles appeared everywhere and didn't go away upon drying. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

That's something I considered too. Unfortunately as it's smack dab in the center of a busy operating room staging area it looks like a graveyard shift job any way it's sliced. Thanks, guess I'll pick up a quart of "low odor" oil primer and try another test spot today.
