Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of adaptive immunity: active and passive. Active Immunity-antibodies that develop in a person’s own immune system after the body is exposed to an antigen through a disease or when you get an immunization (i.e. a flu shot). This type of immunity lasts for a long time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inoculation is the act of implanting a pathogen or microbe into a person or other recipient; vaccination is the act of implanting or giving someone a vaccine specifically; and immunization is the development of disease resistance that results from the immune system’s response to a vaccine or natural infection.
