Why do vaccines not protect against viral diseases?

Some vaccines do protect against viral diseases such as the vaccine against chickenpox. However, vaccines against viruses are very difficult to make. Not only are viruses very small, but they are not living organisms. Viruses require a living host to carry on certain processes. Vaccines tend to kill a bacterium or a specific organelle of a bacterium that would affect its ability to survive and carry on its normal functions. Due to the fact that viruses are not living this poses a problem to the normal approach.
