Most vaccines give you a mild case of the disease they are attempting to prevent but in a 'dead' state that generally does not allow the illness to become serious. Your body is then able to produce an abundance of antibodies that will be able to fight off a 'live' version of the virus should you ever come into contact with one.

∙ 13y agoVaccines contain an anti-biotic and either an inactive version of the virus or the toxins which it produces.
When injected, the immune system is alerted by the virus/toxins. It then responds, making a white-blood cell which can effectively kill off the virus/toxin. Once it has done this, it can then effectively kill any doses of it, making the person immune to the virus as a whole.
On a larger scale, if someone cannot get infected, they cannot spread it as easily as someone who has been infected would. This then slows down the transmission rate of the spread, usually allowing vaccines to be administered more and more until the virus cannot infect, and thus eventually dies out or mutates.
