In general, these terms are used interchangeably, but there is a difference.
Immunity is what you get when you are exposed to a disease, either by contracting the disease or being vaccinated against it. Your body is then "immune" to the disease because your immune system know what that virus "looks like".
Vaccination is getting the dose of vaccine to get immunity.
vaccination is an individual event; immunization refers to a population.

The difference between vaccination and immunity is a vaccination is an inoculation with any vaccine or toxoid to establish resistence to a specific infectious disease. An imunity is a response to Infectious Diseases that keeps the body from being effected by it.
Vaccination ' word originates from 'vaccinia' meaning 'cow . As we know Dr Edward Jenner first invented the vaccine against the small pox by injecting the fluid of cow pox to individuals and in the turn, people did not developed 'small pox'.
So this was a kind of 'active immuniztion and we know 'Immunization' could be active and passive' both.
So 'Vaccination' is an 'Active Immunization' while Immunization could be both-Active and Passive'

∙ 14y agoImpunity means that it is not possible to punish someone for something, not necessarily for legal reasons as much as for practical reasons; a sufficiently powerful person can act with impunity because no one else has the power to stop him (or her). A dictator (such as Kim Jong Il of North Korea) can kill anyone he likes in his own country, with impunity. Immunity, in comparison, is a legal concept. It means that someone is not subject to some legal penalty, for legal reasons. So, sometimes a person testifies in a criminal trial and is awarded immunity from prosecution as a reward. The word immunity also has other meanings. It refers as well to resistance to disease, conferred by the immune system. For example, I am not going to get polio because I have been vaccinated and I have an immunity to polio.

∙ 12y agoWhen someone is immune, they are not affected, you are immune to the effects of magnets. When someone is resistant, they are affected, but they overcome the affects. You are resistant to the wind.
