AB  - Immunization  is  one  of  the  most  important  tools  (along  with  sanitation)  used  to  prevent  morbidity  and  mortality  from  infectious  diseases.  In  general,  the  administration  of  most  vaccinations  induces  a  durable  antibody  response  (active  immunity).  In  contrast,  passive  immunization  occurs  when  preformed  antibodies  are  given  (eg,  immune  globulin  from  pooled  serum),  resulting  in  temporary  protection  which  is  a  less  durable  response.  The  two  variants  of  active  immunization  are  live  attenuated  vaccines  (which  are  believed  to  result  in  an  immunologic  response  more  like  natural  infection),  and  inactivated  or  killed  vaccines.
