Active immunity often confers long-lasting immunity because it involves the stimulation of the body's own immune system to produce memory cells and antibodies that can provide protection against future infections. This long-lasting immunity is the result of the body's ability to remember the pathogen and quickly produce a strong immune response upon re-exposure to the same pathogen. In contrast, passive immunity provides temporary protection and does not confer long-lasting immunity because it involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from another source (such as breast milk or immune serum).
