Since a Werewolf is still alive a Vampire can't become a werewolf.  The Werewolf would have to die to become a Vampire, but a vampire bite isn't on the list of things that can kill a werewolf (Some kind of silver in the heart- knife, bullet, spear, etc. is the only way to kill a werewolf {outside of the American Werewolf in London and Paris films} correct?), so a Werewolf can't turn into a Vampire. (except maybe the Vampire bite would take effect when the Werewolf is actually killed, so he/she may not become a vapire until years after he/she was biten) > > Speed'There's a bad moon on the rise...'ball
  I agree with Kelly to a point.  Lycanthropy is passed on like a disease.  Vampires are resistant to diseases and viruses (ever see a vampire with a cold?).  Therefore, Wolfman bites Drac, nothing happens. 
  Now if Drac bites Wolfman and tries to turn him into a vampire, he would.  The vampire turning makes Wolfie (un)dead and suddenly disease-free!  The lycanthropy won't affect him from then on.  Drac bites Wolfman, Wolfman becomes a vampire.
