Answer 3

= large population is vaccinated protect unvaccinated individuals
= with enough people vaccinated less people to pass on the disease

Question 4

= short term: antiody given is broken down
=

Question 7

What is active immunity?

Answer 7

= indidual produces their own antibodies in response to antigens
= natural results for disease
= artifical from vaccine
= long term: antibodi produced due to respone of antigen
=Active (can) take time to develop /

Question 8

Answer 8

= cost
= severity of side effects
= ease of population, transpiration and admiration
= number of people needed for herd immunity

Question 9

= production and testing done on animals
= risks of vaccine need to balance benefits
