What type of immunity is provided by vaccination?
Correct Answer: Active immunity
- Step 1: Understand that the immune system is the body's defense against diseases.
- Step 2: Know that vaccination introduces a harmless part of a pathogen (like a protein or a weakened germ) into the body.
- Step 3: Realize that this harmless part tricks the immune system into thinking there is an infection.
- Step 4: The immune system responds by producing antibodies and activating immune cells to fight the pathogen.
- Step 5: After the vaccination, the immune system remembers how to fight that specific pathogen in the future.
- Step 6: This memory provides active immunity, meaning the body can quickly respond if it encounters the real pathogen later.
