During a pandemic, you could develop a dozen candidate vaccines and administer them randomly. You would know pretty quick which one works.
The vaccine is generally the disease in which you plan to build antibodies or antigens to fend off. So at the wrong concentration you get the disease and die or you are not protected against the disease and you die. (Well, get really sick)
