Active immunization is when we give you a vaccine and your immune system kicks into high gear, and sets up a series of reactions in your body to trick your body into thinking that you've actually had the disease. Passive immunization is when you get those pre-formed antibodies.

What is the difference between active and passive immunization?
A prominent difference between active and passive immunity is that active immunity is developed due to the production of antibodies in one's own body, while passive immunity is developed by antibodies that are produced outside and then introduced into the body.
What do you mean by passive immunization?
In passive immunization a person receives antibodies or lymphocytes that have been produced by another individual's immune system; in active immunization the individual's own immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies and lymphocytes.
What are the examples of active and passive immunity?
Active vs passive immunity
| Active Immunity | Passive Immunity | |
|---|---|---|
| Results from | Direct infection Vaccination | Breast milk Injection Mother to baby through the placenta |
| Takes effect | Over time (typically several weeks) | Immediately |
| Length of efficacy | Long-term to lifelong | Short-term |
| Produced by memory cells? | Yes | No |
What are examples of passive immunity?
Passive immunity can occur naturally, such as when an infant receives a mother's antibodies through the placenta or breast milk, or artificially, such as when a person receives antibodies in the form of an injection (gamma globulin injection).
What are the two types of active immunity?
There are two types of immunity: innate and adaptive.
Is tetanus vaccine active or passive?
Combined active-passive immunization with tetanus toxoid and 50 units TIGH gives a low level of passive immunity and stimulates early onset of active immunization. In combined active-passive immunization, adsorbed tetanus toxoid produced a significantly higher response than the fluid toxoid.
What are 4 types of immunity?
How Does the Immune System Work?
- Innate immunity: Everyone is born with innate (or natural) immunity, a type of general protection. ...
- Adaptive immunity: Adaptive (or active) immunity develops throughout our lives. ...
- Passive immunity: Passive immunity is "borrowed" from another source and it lasts for a short time.
Is breast milk passive immunity?
Breast milk also contains antibodies, which means that babies who are breastfed have passive immunity for longer. The thick yellowish milk (colostrum) produced for the first few days following birth is particularly rich in antibodies.
What are the 5 types of immunity?
Immunity
- Innate immunity. We are all born with some level of immunity to invaders. ...
- Adaptive (acquired) immunity. This protect from pathogens develops as we go through life. ...
- Passive immunity. This type of immunity is “borrowed” from another source, but it does not last indefinitely. ...
- Immunizations.
Is active immunity permanent?
Active immunity is usually permanent. The individual is protected from the disease all their life. Active immunity is in contrast to passive immunity which results from the transfer to an individual of antibodies produced by another individual.
Why is passive immunity temporary?
Passive immunity is the transfer of antibody produced by one human or other animal to another. Passive immunity provides protection against some infections, but this protection is temporary. The antibodies will degrade during a period of weeks to months, and the recipient will no longer be protected.
Is borrowed immunity passive or active?
Passive immunity: Passive immunity is "borrowed" from another source and it lasts for a short time. For example, antibodies in a mother's breast milk give a baby temporary immunity to diseases the mother has been exposed to.
