The Immune System

Question 14 • Anatomy & Physiology B

Immunization programs strive to create herd immunity, which is

Answer
A
a program in which stronger vaccines produce greater protection.
B
a condition that makes it difficult for a pathogen to spread.
C
a program that enforces isolation of sick members of the population.
D
a condition in which everyone in a population has innate immunity.

Explanation

Herd immunity occurs when enough people in a population are immune—usually through vaccination or prior infection—that a pathogen has difficulty spreading from person to person. This also helps protect people who are not immune. It is a population-level condition, not an isolation program or a state in which everyone has innate immunity.
