There are two types of adaptive immunity: active and passive. Active Immunity - antibodies that develop in a person's own immune system after the body is exposed to an antigen through a disease or when you get an immunization (i.e. a flu shot). This type of immunity lasts for a long time.
sorry if this didn't help!!
