I was actually wondering the same thing.  You have several
ferret-specific vaccines over there and still so much reactions to
them.  In Belgium (which is were I Iive) and in Holland we have no
ferret-specific vaccines, we just use the Distemper-vaccines for dogs
and the ferrets having a reaction to them are very rare...

Just a small correction: if I'm not mistaken Nobivac Puppy DP is a
cocktail.  D means distemper, and P means Parvo.  So it's a vaccine
against Distemper and Parvo.
 
But most other vaccines are even larger cocktails, so this also is one
of the reasons Nobivac Puppy DP is used.
