What happens in your body if you are exposed to a virus for which you have been vaccinated?

If the microbe is one you've been vaccinated against, and if enough time has passed since the vaccination for full immunity to have been developed by your immune system, then your immune system will be able to recognize and destroy it before it can replicate and cause illness. See the related question below for more information about why you could still get infected even after having received a vaccination, although that is the exception to the rule and usually it does not happen that way.

Why does a person with memory cells for a disease not get sick while person without them does?
A person who has been exposed to a foreign organism (bacteria or virus) or has been vaccinated against that organism has built up antibodies that will inactive it. When that person is exposed to it, the foreign organism will be immediately inactivated by the memory cells.If you get a cold (there are 200 different viruses that cause colds), and have not had it before, it will take 7-10 days for your immune system to make the antibodies to inactivate. After that cold infection, if you are exposed again, those memory cells will be ready. You say that you are coming down with something but that feeling only lasts a day or so.
