Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a
person’s system. o Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy
toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. For example,
measles antibody will protect a person who is exposed to measles disease, but will have
no effect if he or she is exposed to mumps.
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an
infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. o Immunization
introduces antigens or weakened pathogens to a person in such a way that the individual
does not become sick but still produces antibodies. Because the body saves copies of the
