What is a typical reason someone wouldn't be able to be vaccinated?

  Non-deliberate immunosuppression can occur in, for example, ataxia–telangiectasia, complement deficiencies, many types of cancer, and certain chronic infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

It varies by vaccine, but allergies, health conditions, and age are all factors.

Some people also practice religions that forbid them.

One example, babies too young to receive vaccines or pregnant mothers.
