What is meant by the term active immunity?

Answer 1

Active immunity is of two kinds:

Natural active immunity: This is acquired when a pathogen enters the body and immune response occurs. This is stored by the memory cells and eliminates the pathogen for the second time as soon as it enters the body.

Acquired active immunity: This artificial and it is induced through a artificial source like vaccines.

Answer 2

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).
