Q. Please tell us what is “immunity”?

Immunity is derived from the Latin word Immunis which means exemption. It helps the body to defend itself against foreign invaders like viruses, fungus, bacteria, and parasites. There are 2 types of immunity systems known as Active and Passive. Active Immunity occurs when our immunity is protecting us from pathogens whereas Passive Immunity occurs when we are protected from a pathogen by immunity gained from somewhere else.

Vaccines contribute to active immunity by providing us with an immune response in a controlled way.
