What is the difference between antibody and immunity?
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. immunzation program vs. Johnny got vaccinated 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'
