A few months ago at work somebody vomited all over me and didn't offer a single word of apology. The situation is a serious social faux pas.

although obviously he should have apologised in the first place, your reaction would depend on several things.
first was anyone else around? were they laughing at you both? (causing greater anger from you) was the person laughing after they did it? how do they speak to you now (do they seem hesitant to speak to you?)
did the person straight away clear up the floor of any puke, or leave it there? (this would show how conscientious they are, if they are.) what were the circumstances behind it happening in the first place? (did they come toward you before it happened? or was something else happening, then it just 'came out'?)
by looking deep into the overall picture of what happened, and what his reaction is now, you should be able to work out whether he is truly scum or not.

This actually happened to me in high school at a basketball game. One of the opposing team's cheerleaders got sick and vomited all down my back and I had on a new cute outfit. She apologized profusely, took me to her house, gave me one of her outfits to wear (I was going to the dance after the game in her town) and had my clothes cleaned and returned. I never forgot that because she was so mortified and nice about it.

well it's abit like sneezing in public and dropping a huge fart at the same time, what does one do (be very British about it and look with disgust at the person next to you or be like a Yank and claim the 5th). Be grateful that they didnt **** on you, now that would have had you both vomiting. roflol

The definition of an Englishman is that he apologises to the one who vomited on him

Probably they are paralysed with embarrassment. But they should have apologised and offered to dry-clean any of your clothing affected.

They either were too sick to realise who they vomited on, or are too mortified to speak about it! I think you should take every occasion to embarass them publicly for it until they apologise.
