As silkiechicken already explained, vaccines work by exposing you to a low dose of the virus (either live or dead). This triggers your body to produce its own natural antibodies to it without enough exposure to the virus to make you as ill as you would be with full exposure to the live virus.
One of my friends is a chiropractor, and we had a conversation this summer about this very topic. We weren't able to get very in depth, and I need to research much more, but I remember something she said about the immune system. There are 2 kinds of immune responses (that we know of) based on the body's T-helper cells, the ones that fight infection. One kind is the result of natural immunity, or that which we acquire by contracting an illness and healing. Another kind is that provided by vaccines, which usually doesn't prove lasting (thus the need for boosters.)
The thing my friend told me that really intrigued me was the way the human body reacts to these different types of immune response. The response created by a vaccine puts the body into a state of "hyper-alert" whereas the natural immune response does not. The hyper-alert state wears down the body and it's natural defenses. Following the recommended schedule, a child receives somewhere around 36 doses of vaccines by age 5, I believe. It makes sense, then, that so many people have poor immune systems despite all the vaccines readily given.
I am so glad to see someone else on here say something about Chiros. They are so knowledgable about the immune system and alternative approaches to disease and flu's and the like. I worked for a team for a year and a half and the things I learned outside of antibiotic overkill and immunizations would fill a book. And, my husband researches a lot of stuff on the internet and found out that D-3 is a very important factor in our ability to fight off flu and colds, so everyone needs to find out more out that on their own and see if it would work for them. I take it and so does our 9 year old. We have 10 confimed cases of Swine flu in our local very small HS, so want to try to keep it away from him at all costs. For the non-believers of Chiro care, its not "bone cracking" anymore like everyone use to call them. They still adjust, but they have such high tech equipement now it is amazing what they will do with chronic pain, asthma, bone spurs . . the list is endless.
