Of course Mild Acid: Vinegar is a mild/weak solution of acetic acid. Acid suppresses the growth of a variety of fungus ; bacteria. Several species of bacteria commonly growing in vaginal secretions (called lactobacilli - for Lactic Acid production) produce acids which suppress fungal growth. Antibiotics killing off these bacteria commonly leaves the territory open for fugal/yeast growth with resulting problems.

You may find: That baking soda is better. No treatment of that type always works anyway.
