Artificially Acquired Active Immunity Notes:
Artificially acquired active immunity is a type of immunity that is produced when a person is intentionally exposed to antigens through vaccines so that active immunity is produced that has a long-term effect. Vaccine is introduced into a person's body, and antigens in the vaccine activate the immune system, which initiates the production of antibodies and memory cells, and these attack the antigens that were present in the vaccine.
