A vaccinaton schedule is a series of vaccinatons,
including the tming of all doses, which may be either
recommended or compulsory, depending on the country
of residence.
Types of immunizaton are:
1. Actve immunizaton
Actve immunizaton can occur naturally when a person
comes in contact with, for example, a microbe. The
immune systemwill eventually create antbodies and
other defenses against the microbe. The next tme, the
immune response against this microbe can be very
efficient; this is the case in many of the childhood
infectons that a person only contracts once, but then is
immune.
Artficial actve immunizaton is where the microbe, or
parts of it, are injected into the person before they are

able to take it in naturally. If whole microbes are used,
they are pre-treated.
2. Passive immunizaton
Passive immunizaton is where pre-synthesized elements
of the immune systemare transferred to a person so that
the body does not need to produce these elements itself.
Currently, antbodies can be used for passive
immunizaton. This method of immunizaton begins to
work very quickly, but it is short lastng, because the
antbodies are naturally broken down, and if there are no
B cells to produce more antbodies, they will disappear.

method.
Passive immunizaton occurs physiologically, when
antbodies are transferred from mother
to fetus during pregnancy, to protect the fetus before
and shortly aferbirth.
Artficial passive immunizaton is normally administered
by injecton and is used if there has been a recent
outbreak of a partcular disease oras an emergency
treatment for toxicity, as in for tetanus.

carefully reviewed by doctors, scientsts and

diseases but also the others whom you care for.
