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.

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'
