GCU ANP 635 Immunization Study Guide
Exam And Actual Answers.
What is active immunity? - Answer Protection produced by person's own immunity
What is passive immunity? - Answer Protection produced by products by an animal or human and
transferred to another human (usually by injection)
What is passive immunity usually? - Answer Temporary
Give an example of passive immunity. - Answer Infant receives immunity from mother via placenta or
breastfeeding
What is active immunity? - Answer Stimulation of the immune system to produce antigen-specific
humoral antibody and cellular immunity
What is herd immunity? - Answer Occurs as more individuals in the community become immune to any
given disease, meaning that there are fewer chances for those susceptible to come in contact with the
disease
What do maternal antibodies do to vaccines? - Answer Neutralize them
Do infants vaccinated require more or fewer inoculations than older children? - Answer More
What is important if a child does not start immunizations until later in childhood? - Answer They will
need to be on a catch-up schedule
What type of immune response does a vaccine that is more similar to the disease-causing form elicit? -
Answer Better immune response
, What are live attenuated vaccines? - Answer Weakened form of the virus that must replicate to be
effective
What can interfere with live attenuated vaccines? - Answer Circulating antibody
What type of immune response do live attenuated vaccines elicit? - Answer Immune response similar
to natural infection

What can live attenuated vaccines cause? - Answer Severe reactions
How should live attenuated vaccines be stored and handled? - Answer Fragile, stored and handled
carefully
What are inactivated vaccines? - Answer Vaccines that cannot replicate
What type of immune response do inactivated vaccines mostly elicit? - Answer Humoral immune
response
What is the classification of vaccines? - Answer Live attenuated, inactivated vaccine (whole cell or
fractional), conjugated polysaccharide vaccine, recombinant vaccines
