There is no succession to the office of Vice President. If the position becomes vacant, as by succession of the VP to the Presidency, or his death or resignation, the 25th Amendment provides that a new Vice President will be nominated by the current President, and confirmed by both houses of Congress.
Two Vice Presidents have been chosen under the amendment: Gerald Ford in 1973 and Nelson Rockefeller in 1974.
(If some tragic event would kill both the President and Vice President, then the Speaker of the House would become president.)
