Study Notes
- Immunizations confer immunity through various mechanisms.
Active Immunity
- Active immunity develops when the body is exposed to an antigen and produces its own antibodies.
- This can occur through natural exposure or vaccination.
Passive Immunity
- Passive immunity is acquired by receiving antibodies from an external source.
- Examples include the transfer of antibodies through breast milk or the administration of immunoglobulins.
Herd Immunity
- Herd immunity arises when a significant portion of a population is immune to a disease, either through vaccination or prior infection.
- This protects individuals who are not immune by reducing the likelihood of transmission.

Description
Explore the different types of immunity conferred by immunizations. Active immunity is developed through exposure to an antigen, while passive immunity is acquired from an external source. Herd immunity protects vulnerable individuals by reducing disease transmission.
