Detailed explanation-1: -Immunization The process by which an individual’s immune system becomes fortified against an agent (or antigen), most commonly gained through vaccination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Passive Immunity. Passive immunity is provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Immunisation vs Immunity Immunity is the general ability of the body to identify and remove foreign matter or organisms. Immunisation is the specific ability of the body to recognise and respond to a particular pathogen (disease-causing agent) and prevent it from causing life-threatening harm.
