Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of immunity: Immunity refers to the body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells.

Differentiate between types of immunity: Natural immunity is acquired through exposure to pathogens in everyday life, passive immunity is provided by external sources like maternal antibodies, and innate immunity is the body's first line of defense present from birth.

Define active immunity: Active immunity is a form of acquired immunity where exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies against that disease.

Recognize the role of vaccines: Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system to develop active immunity without causing the disease itself.

Conclude that vaccines lead to active immunity: By administering vaccines, the body is prompted to produce its own antibodies, thus achieving active immunity.
