They can be in certain circumstances, as long as they are given at different sites.

Do all vaccinations work?

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).

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.
