Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receiving a flu shot involves being exposed to a weakened or killed form of the flu virus, which stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the virus. This is an example of artificial active immunity, as the body is actively creating its own immune response to the antigen (the flu virus) that it has been introduced to. Natural immunity involves exposure to a pathogen and the subsequent development of an immune response, whereas passive immunity involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from one individual to another (either naturally, as in the case of a mother passing antibodies to her baby through breast milk, or artificially, as in the case of receiving injected antibodies to a specific pathogen).
