What is the difference between active immunity and passive immunity? What are its similarities?
Is active immunity long-lasting compared to passive immunity?
Yes, active immunity is typically longer-lasting compared to passive immunity because the body is producing its own antibodies, which can be kept in memory for future encounters with the same pathogen. Passive immunity, however, only provides short-term protection as it relies on the pre-made antibodies given to the body.
