‘Active immunity’ is described in the scenario.
When the body is exposed to an antigen, it produces memory cells that provide lifelong or long-lasting immunity against the specific agent. This process is known as “active immunity.” It might take a while for this response to form.
This is not the same as “passive immunity,” in which the body produces its own antibodies to fight an infection, but instead receives antibodies from outside sources. However, the action is quick because premade antibodies are administered.
‘Artificially induced immunity’ and ‘naturally induced immunity’ are two more categories into which these fit.
“Artificial active immunity” refers to immunity that is created by purposefully exposing a person to antigens in a vaccine (the term “artificial” comes from the fact that exposure did not occur naturally).
