Vaccines are killed pathogens that are injected into the body. Allowing the vaccine inside your body exposes the immune system to how that certain pathogen works and looks like so that when the live pathogen comes enters, your third line of defense knows how to fight it. So in general, vaccines are basically like a training course for the immune system.

When a pathogen breaks through the first line of defense, an automatic response from cells happens. The cells will try to engulf all the harmful organisms. Afterwards, the body will use inflammation which increases blood flow but will cause a fever since bacteria doesn't survive well in a heated environment. If there are still living pathogens, compliment proteins will go after the organisms and pierce its wall, causing it to leak and die.
