Immunization
• Inducing immunity against a specific disease
• Passive vs Active
Passive Immunization
• Administration of preformed antibodies to
induce transient protection against an
infectious agent
• Major indications:
– Protection to immunodeficient children with B
lymphocyte defects
– Children exposed to infectious diseases
– Children at imminent risk of exposure with no
adequate time to develop active immune
response to vaccine
Active Immunization
• Whole or parts of microorganisms
administered to prevent an infectious disease
– Toxoid: modified bacterial toxin that is made non
toxic and still able to induce active immune
response
