Acquired immunity is the immunity that comes from a vaccine, exposure to an infection, or from external or other person's antibodies. It is developed and gets stronger during our lifespan. Example of this is when someone contracted and recovers from measles. The person recovered from measles becomes protected from measles for their lifetime.
