Why don't vaccines do not cause bacterial resistance?

Since bacteria can evolve to overcome antibiotic use, why wouldn't they be able to evolve to overcome antibody or cell-mediated immunity?

Thanks

One(One possible explanation: antibiotics have only one target while vaccines elicit antibodies against multiple targets and multiple T-cell epitopes. Even more targets arise when comparing subunitsub-unit vs inactivated vaccines, where the number of targets are extremely higher using inactivated vaccines, containing whole bacterial cell.)
