Immunity is conferred primarily through two mechanisms: innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific defense against pathogens, utilizing barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like phagocytes. Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, develops over time and involves the activation of lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) that specifically recognize and remember pathogens, leading to a targeted and lasting immune response. Vaccination can enhance this adaptive response by introducing antigens, prompting the immune system to produce memory cells without causing disease.

Does mumps confer lifelong immunity?
Yes, mumps typically confers lifelong immunity after infection. Once a person has recovered from mumps, their immune system produces antibodies that provide protection against future infections. Vaccination with the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine also offers long-lasting immunity, although vaccine-derived immunity may require boosters in some cases.

However, some viruses, like the common cold or norovirus, can infect a person multiple times due to the presence of different strains or lack of long-lasting immunity.
Why was Jenner's vaccine superior than other methods for conferring resistance to smallpox?
Jenner's method of using cowpox infection to confer immunity to smallpox was superior to earlier methods because it carried a significantly lowered risk of serious disease. The earlier method of using material from lesions of smallpox victims conferred immunity but at the risk of acquiring the potentially lethal disease.
