A 'shot' (or a 'jab' in the UK) = injection.
So your question is asking the difference between an injection and a vaccine. A vaccine is something that can be administered by injection.

User_garyI hear that people often say "get a flu shot" but for other injections they call as "vaccines" e.g. get a influenza vaccines"flu" is short for "influenza", so they are the same thing. In this context, a "shot" is an injection with a needle, whether the injected substance is a vaccine, a pain killer, a vitamin or anything else.
