The vaccine holds a recipe for a part of the coronavirus, a counterfeit part if you'd like. Some of the cells in the body will use this recipe to make copies and give it away to the immune system. They will make what you can think of as wanted poster. If the immune system sees this part in the future it will be stopped before it's a problem.

The part in question is the spike protein (those red tags in pic related). They work as anchors for the coronavirus. On its own it doesn't do anything. It will just be removed and destroyed by the immune system.
