Try to maintain your blood sugar level in the normal level by regular taking medications and regular walking and regular check up with your family doctor and it is more than enough to protect from any health issues. So it's not mandatory to take any vaccines.

There is no such mandatory vaccines for diabetes. However, if you have some specific problems or travels then only vaccines are needed.
