Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -But with all types of vaccines, the body is left with a supply of “memory” T-lymphocytes as well as B-lymphocytes that will remember how to fight that virus in the future. It typically takes a few weeks after vaccination for the body to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -An antigen specifically induces the production of antibodies which can bind to it and neutralise it. While most vaccines work by inducing B lymphocytes to produce antibodies (see below), activation of T-cells-another type of immune system cell that helps protect against disease-is also important for some vaccines.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active Immunity Vaccine-induced immunity is acquired through the introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.
