Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce active immunity, meaning the body produces antibodies to fight off the specific pathogen introduced by the vaccine. This is different from passive immunity, which is when pre-formed antibodies are given to an individual (such as through breast milk or immunoglobulin injections). Vaccines also differ from innate immunity, which is the natural, non-specific defense mechanisms the body has against pathogens.
