Question

The immunity provided by vaccines is acquired or adaptive in nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Acquired or adaptive immunity is not present at the time of birth. Vaccines are a form of acquired immunity which exposes an individual to the weakened microbes of a disease. The immune system fights these weakened microbes and remembers their type so that whenever in future the same microbes enter the body, the immune system will be prepared to fight the microbes and prevent the manifestation of the disease.
