Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Thomas has received a vaccination for chicken pox indicates that he has acquired immunity. This type of immunity is known as acquired immunity because it is gained after exposure to a particular pathogen or through a vaccine. Natural immunity refers to the immunity that is present from birth. Inherited immunity refers to immunity that is passed down from parents to their offspring. Acquired inoculation immunity is not a recognized term, but it could be seen as a combination of acquired immunity and inoculation (the process of introducing a pathogen into the body in a controlled manner, such as through a vaccine).
