How does chickenpox vaccine work?
Like all vaccinations, a weakened or "dead" version of the infectious organism is introduced into your body to cause an immune response during which your body is able to create cells that disable the organism. Once you have developed those cells, whenever the real thing comes along, your body is ready to fight it quickly with the cells that were created from the introduction of the version of the organism that was not able to make you sick but did "trick" your body into reacting as if it were a real threat.

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.
