A lot of finely balanced high speed rotating parts in a Jet Engine.........there could be many reasons why one blade or stage gets out of balance, from ingesting something to fatigue.

Vibration by itself it not necessarily a reason to shut down an Engine. You have to look deeper into the displays....
