Vaccines work by injecting you with a small dose of either a weak or dead form of a virus/disease. Your body naturally tries to kill the virus by creating anti-bodies. Your body remembers how to create these antibodies so that when the real virus attacks, it can fight back killing the disease before it does any harm.
