Active immunity - CORRECT ANSWER -Resistance developed in

Passive Immunity - CORRECT ANSWER -A person is given
antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or
her own immune system. This is short term immunity through
introduction of antibodies to a disease. Can occur naturally as in
the passage of antibodies from the mother to the fetus during
pregnancy or artificially acquired through injection of antibodies
such as gamma globulin. Onset is within 24 hours of the dose and
duration is about 4-6 months.
Herd Immunity - CORRECT ANSWER -This occurs when a
significant portion of the population is vaccinated and that
provides a portion of immunity for those that have not developed
immunity. The population (herd) helps prevent disease in the
unprotected population. The herd protects those who can not
safely get vaccinations. Generally 90 -95% of the population
should be to be vaccinated to have effective Herd immunity.
Hep B Vaccine - CORRECT ANSWER -3 dose schedule: 1st
Should be given within 24 hours of birth (12 hours if mother + or
unknown HBsAg status). 2nd at 2 months and 3rd at 6 months.
Low rate of adverse events.
