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).
Who invented a vaccine for leprosy?
There is no vaccine for leprosy. India and Brazil currently use the Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine but that is for TB. The effectiveness of this approach is widely disputable and the search goes on.

The oral Polio vaccine is usually pink. A vaccine vial monitor (VVM) is a thermochromic label put on vials containing vaccines which gives a visual indication of whether the vaccine has been kept at a temperature which preserves its effectiveness. Some times the vaccine is exposed to dry ice or to room temperature and that can be read by the VVM label.
What if you used cowpox to prevent the flu?
It wouldn't work. You must introduce the specific viruses that cause influenza to prevent the flu. Cowpox vaccines would be used for preventing cowpox (or some infections by closely related other poxviruses).
A similar virus to cowpox virus is Vaccinia virus which is the type of pox virus that was used to produce the vaccines originally developed and used to prevent smallpox. Smallpox is now eradicated from the wild thanks to worldwide use of smallpox vaccines made from Vaccinia.
Despite its name, cowpox virus does not infect cows, it infects mice, rats and other rodents.

What is the risk of getting a TB shot instead of Flu shot?
If you are getting the vaccination by a trained professional, it is unlikely, although not impossible. Medication errors are more common in hospitalized patients than those receiving outpatient medications and immunizations. If you are not sure of what you received or question that an incorrect substance was used in your case, you should contact the location where you received the vaccine. They must keep a very accurate record of these, usually by state law.
Why are flu vaccinations produced from dead virus and not live viruses?
In the US there is a flu vaccination made with live viruses that have been weakened (attenuated) to prevent them from making otherwise healthy people sick. This type of vaccine can be used by those who are healthy and aged 2 - 49. It creates a very good immune response to cause immunity and so it can be administered in an intranasal mist that is inhaled into the nose instead of having to be given in a shot. The vaccines for flu that are made to be injected in a shot are made from "dead" viruses or pieces of dead viruses. So flu vaccinations are produced from both "dead" viruses and live viruses.
