While it can't be said for sure that the bloodline has anything to do with it (not knowing the entire situation) I would be more pressed to say that the vaccinations may have had something to do with the pups passing.
Some puppies do have allergic reactions to vaccines and depending on the type of vaccine used this could certainly have been the case. Fatalities are not uncommon in this situation. Bloodwork is often done before vaccines in case there is a pre-disposition to vaccine related allergic reactions to test.
Just in case, I would keep an eye on my puppy before and after each vaccine and worming and would not start the lepto part of the vaccine schedule until the puppy is older - 14 weeks or so.
Good luck.
