Naturally Acquired Active Immunity - occurs when the body responds to exposure to antigens by mounting specific immune responses.
Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity - occurs when a fetus, a new born, or child receives across the placenta or through breast milk.
Artificially Acquired Active Immunity - occurs when the body receives antigens by injection, as with vaccines, and mounts a specific immune response.
