Vaccines take advantage of the body's immune system's way of fighting pathogens. When your body is exposed to some pathogen, which has various antigens on its surface, the immune system would start making antibody against those antigens. Normally, it would take sometime for your body to response with first exposure. Subsequence exposures would result in much more rapid response.
Vaccines work by isolating these antigens and give it to you exposing the immune system. You should not get the disease, since only the antigens are given instead of the full pathogen. Sometimes, it may be difficult to completely separate the antigens, so they weaken to pathogens to the point that they would not cause the infection in healthy individuals. These are call live attenuated vaccines. Exam of these are MMR, Varicella Vaccines, Flu mist.

Why doesn't immunisation always work?
because the immune system may not be strong enough to create antibodies also when a vaccine is used it could of weakened the immune system ...
How does the shingle vaccine work?
If you had chickenpox as a child, that virus hides or is dormant in the nervous system. As you get older, your immune system doesn't keep it hidden and it will escape. Something the doctors say is reactivation. The shingles vaccine works by kick-starting the immune system and reminds it that that virus is still there.

How does a vaccine help a person get better from an infection?
Usually a vaccine does not help one get better from an infection, instead it prevents getting the infection in the first place by preparing the immune system to fight the infectious organism before the immune system would encounter the infectious organism during an infection.There are however a few diseases (e.g. rabies) where giving a vaccine after the infection has already begun can be helpful to help one get better from that infection. This works because the level of the vaccine early in the infection can exceed the level of the infectious organism for a short period of time. This prepares the immune system to fight the infectious organism before the immune system would encounter enough of the infectious organism during that infection, giving the immune system an "advantage". But for most infections this will not work at all.
Why do we develop disease even after getting vaccines?
Vaccines have a minuscule amount of the disease, so your immune system can easily destroy it and then retain in the immune systems memory the best way to destroy it. That is how vaccines work. However if you have an immune deficiency disorder, or a weak immune system, the disease inside the vaccine has a tiny chance of surviving and reproducing causing the disease to infect you.

How do vaccins work?
Vaccines help a body's immune system prepare in advance to fight infectious illnesses and potentially deadly diseases caused by infectious agents or their by-products. Essentially, vaccines give the body a preview of a bacterium, virus, or toxin allowing it to learn in advance how to defend itself against that potential invader. If the body is ever infected by that particular pathogen after the vaccine has done its work, the body's immune system is ready to protect us because it has created "memory cells" when exposed to the vaccine. These cells can tell your immune system exactly what antibodies it needs to make for that particular pathogen and can get to work before the infection gets out of control.
What does the work in the immune system?
The white blood cells are the structured main base in the immune system.
