Dead virus cells are injected causing the animal's body's immune system to build up immunity to that particular virus. When the animal comes across that same virus it already has immunity built up so the chance of 'getting' that same germ is greatly reduced. This is an over-simplified explanation but it will give you an idea of how it works.
