Not all vaccinations work on all people, but most vaccinations work on most people, to prevent diseases that spread rapidly or are especially fatal or debilitating infections. Because of vaccination use, we have virtually eliminated some infective diseases in the places where people use vaccines to prevent them (small pox, polio, etc.).

The risk:benefit analysis of a vaccine, performed through studies and clinical trials before release for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, is done with each new vaccine. They are proven safe and effective, meaning that they save many more lives than they produce adverse effects and they work on most people.

There are people who are unable to take vaccinations due to allergy or other adverse reactions and there are those who are unable to take them because they have a compromised immune system, which can not react as it should to the vaccine. This happens in people with an immune system disease, or when they are taking medications that reduce the effects of the immune system (as in transplants to prevent rejection and some autoimmune diseases).

How many vaccinations do dwarf rabbits need?

Dwarf rabbits need the same vaccinations as all pet rabbits. What vaccinations are required for your pet rabbit depends on where you live. In the UK, rabbits require two vaccinations: one against Myxomatosis and the other against VHD (Viral Hemorrhagic Disease). there should be two weeks between the administration of these vaccinations. In many parts of North America, however, no vaccinations are required (or even available) for rabbits at all. Contact a local pet rabbit organization or a "rabbit-savvy" vet to find out what vaccinations are required for rabbits in your area.
