Active immunity is immunity which is developed in response to

organisms, so the risk to the person is less than if they had
contracted the actual disease.

Asked in Science
What is meant by the term active immunity?
A type of immunity or resistance developed in an organism by its
own production of antibodies in response to an exposure to an
antigen, a pathogen or to a vaccine.
Active immunity is generally long-term and can be acquired by
infection followed by B cells and T cellsactivation, or
artificially acquired by vaccines, in a process called
immunization. Thus, an active immunity often involves humoral
immunity (B-cells) and cell-mediated immunity (T-cells).

Asked in Health, Immune System, The Difference Between
How are active and passive immunity different?
Active immunity is generated by your body. So you get active
immunity as a result of infections or due to vaccines. Passive
immunity is not generated by your body. Here the antibodies are to
be supplied. Child gets the antibodies from mother. Alternately you
get the antibodies via injections. The effect of active immunity is
long lasting. The effect of passive immunity is short lived. So the
active immunity is considered as better. The passive immunity has
one advantage. It is available with immediate effect, while it
takes about two to three weeks, before the effects of active
immunity is available.
