Which type of immunity is provided by vaccination?
Step 1: Understand what vaccination is. Vaccination is a process where a person is given a vaccine to help protect against a disease.
Step 2: Know that a vaccine contains a harmless part of the germ (like a protein or a dead/inactive germ) that causes the disease.
Step 3: When the vaccine is given, it stimulates the immune system to recognize this harmless part as a threat.
Step 4: The immune system responds by producing antibodies and activating immune cells to fight off the germ.
Step 5: This process leads to the development of active immunity, which means the body can now recognize and fight the actual germ if it is encountered in the future.
