Question 3 of 5
A 6-month-old child has just received the 6 month scheduled immunizations. Which type of immunity does this process best describe?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Active artificial immunity occurs when a person’s immune system produces antibodies in response to a vaccine, which contains weakened or inactivated pathogens. A 6-month-old receiving scheduled immunizations (e.g., DTaP, Hib, PCV) triggers this process, providing long-term protection. Natural immunity results from disease exposure, not vaccination. Passive immunity involves receiving pre-formed antibodies (e.g., via breast milk or immunoglobulin), not applicable here. Acquired immunity is a broader term encompassing active and passive, but 'active artificial' is the most specific and correct.
