This is an important way of providing immunity to individuals who cannot receive certain vaccines (e.g., infants, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).00Herd immunity, or community immunity, occurs when a community is protected from an outbreak because enough members of the community have been vaccinated.

Active immunity can be acquired in two ways, either by contracting a disease or through vaccination. Active immunity is usually permanent, meaning an individual is protected from the disease for the duration of their lives.00The production of antibodies against a specific disease by the immune system.

Its primary function is to identify foreign substances in the body (bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites) and develop a defense against them. This defense is known as the immune response. It involves production of protein molecules called antibodies that recognize and help eliminate foreign organisms that invade the body.00The complex system in the body responsible for fighting disease.
