Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MMR injection given to Cody is an example of artificial active immunity. This type of immunity occurs when the body is stimulated to produce its own antibodies in response to exposure to a vaccine, such as the MMR vaccine. The immune response generated helps to protect against future infections with the specific pathogen in question.
