If the Vice president dies, a new Vice President may be nominated and confirmed.
Vice President of the US:
Article II, Section 2, US Constitution (as amended by the 25th Amendment, 1967) - Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
(This happened when Spiro Agnew resigned as Vice President, and Gerald Ford was nominated and confirmed as Vice President, and again when Ford became President, and nominated Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President.)
