Memory cells:

Memory cells help us mount quicker responses to antigens we have previously encountered.

Revised:

When you body first encounters a virus, the immune system does not know the type of white blood cell that can destroy the virus. Thus, giving the virus enough time to take over. When you get a vaccine, it is basically a virus that is too weak to do any harm. Which means, a vaccine puts a type of virus dummy in your body. This way, your body can take time to train against this new type of virus, so when the real thing comes, you body remembers how to be immune to it.

Note: Vaccines do not get you sick. You may feel sick a little bit, but that is your body reacting, as it does not know this dummy virus does no harm.
