With a "live" vaccine, you're given a very small dose of the actual disease virus, or an inactived form of the virus. You become mildly ill, your body develops anti-bodies and helps you get well.

If you're ever exposed to the disease again (full-force), your body already has anti-bodies developed and you do not get the disease again.
