Answer:

Passive artificial immunity

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive artificial immunity, involves injecting an antiserum (a serum containing antibodies produced in a person or animal) into another non-immune individual to boost the immunity of the individual against certain diseases.

This usually only gives short term immunity to diseases.
