Students have asked these similar questions
Herd immunity means that the entire population (not just those who are vaccinated) are protected from a disease. What is one way that herd immunity protects an unvaccinated person (such as an infant who is too young to be vaccinated or a person who is immunocompromised)?
What is Herd Immunity and what is its Immunological and public health significance?
Why is innate immunity referred to as nonspecific?
because it is a form of defense found in all animal species
because it provides defense against a wide range of pathogens
because it is a form of defense that functions in all human body systems
because it provides a built-in mechanism of defense that does not require "training"
