Active immunization involves stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies and cellular immune responses that protect against the infectious agent. Passive immunization provider’s temporary protection through administration of exogenously produced antibody, such as immune globulin. In this way a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.
