Having multiple partners or being an IV drug user puts one at risk for STI and HIV infections.
Immunizations:
Introduce antigen into body, allowing immunity to develop
Active immunity:
An active immunity, an antigen is given in the form of a vaccine.
Passive immunity:
Occurs when preformed antibodies are transferred or donated from one person to another.
Types of vaccines?
1. Killed virus
2. Toxoid
