My understanding is that a vaccine allows your immune system to create antibodies that fight off disease or infection. Some types of vaccines cannot be given while you have symptoms, but some can. It's possible that whatever benefits the vaccine offers are part of a treatment that aims to eradicate the cancer over time (similar to chemotherapy or possibly in tandem).
Let it be known that I am not a medical professional and this is just what I've picked up as a random guy.
