Best Answer

Acquired immunity can be gained by the use of vaccinations either from your primary care giver or your local health department. Passive immunity can be acquired from exposure to someone who has the disease, in which case the person can often develop a light case of the disease, which would cause one's body to develop antibodies against the disease, thus achieving the same effects as the vaccination.
