Active immunity is developed by direct exposure to a pathogen or antigen, which prompts the body’s own immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells, resulting in lasting protection.
Active immunity is acquired through direct contact with a pathogen or antigen, stimulating the body's own immune response and leading to long-lasting protection.
