Your body has the ability to tackle most diseases. If you are given a small amount of a germ, your body can fight it and will teach itself how to protect itself if you are hit a by a full-blown attack.

When you get a vaccination they put in a dead or weakened pathogen (a bad germ that makes you sick) in your blood stream. This vaccination tricks your immune system (the system that fights off germs) into thinking that you are sick. So it sends out antibodies (the things that fight off germs), and once they're made they stay in there forever therefore keeping you from getting sick.
