Vaccines are used to make your body produce antibodiesand T-cells against viruses or bacteria! The Measles and Flu vaccines are viral. The Whooping Cough (Pertussis) and Tuberculosis vaccines are bacterial.

Are vaccines only used for viruses?

I'm not an expert, but from what I can gather, vaccinations are used for both virus' and pathogenic bacteria (harmful bacteria).

The body then produces memory cells so that the body has an immunity against the virus or bacteria (note that this immunity may not last a lifetime).
