You get immunity by having a vaccination or by having the infection itself.
The vaccination is the introduction of the pathogen in tiny amounts to kick start your immune system so it knows how to deal with the real thing if you encounter the germ in the environment.
A vaccine is the medicine made to introduce the pathogen (infection-causing "bug") into your body in a vaccination.
Having immunity is how your body prevents a second infection by the same germ. The first time you catch the germ (or get a vaccination for it), your body responds to cause immunity, so if you run across the same exact germ again later, your body already knows how to prevent an infection again.

The process of vaccination?
Vaccination is the process of attempting to confer artificial immunity on an individual organism by exposing the immune system to antigens of the pathogen being vaccinated against. Vaccination does not provide nearly as good protection as natural, or acquired immunity.
What injection is to stop you getting a disease?
A vaccination is an injection given to prevent a person from getting a specific disease by helping the immune system develop immunity to that disease. It contains a weakened or killed version of the germ that causes the disease, triggering the body to produce antibodies to protect against future infections.

The act or practice of inoculating someone with vaccine as a protection against disease-?
Vaccination is the act of administering a vaccine to stimulate the body's immune system to develop immunity against a specific disease. It helps protect individuals from infectious diseases by preparing their immune system to recognize and fight off the pathogen if exposed to it in the future.
What is the meaning of passive immunity?
Our immune systems are designed to keep track of the various infections that can be caused by pathogens once they encounter them. This helps to increase our immunity as this information helps the bodies immune system to fortify itself against further attacks by the same pathogen. If immunity is increased by means other than acquiring the disease, then it is known as passive immunity. e.g. Vaccination( in this weak pathogens are injected in the body and this helps the body's immune system to remember and then identify it to fortify the body for any future attacks by that pathogen)
