humans‚ a plant’s “immune system” is insignificant. However‚ plants have adapted and evolved chemical‚ physical‚ and protein based mechanisms to protect themselves against invaders. A plant’s first line of defense against pathogens is their innate immunity. The “innate-immune system” is a non-specific immune system and responds to any recognizable pathogens in a general manner. An example of an innate immune defense would be a plant’s outer layer of waxy skin or cuticle that protects it from bacteria

conferring temporary immunity to the disease. This temporary immunity‚ however‚ is sufficient to contain outbreaks of the disease. Officials in Brazil and Nigeria have been delivering these fractional doses‚ which consist of one-fifth of a full vaccine‚ in order to extend the current supplies and maximize the number of people vaccinated. Although a partial dose is effective in providing immunity to the disease‚ a full dose of the vaccine is ideal as it confers lifelong immunity. This method is known

propagation of the infectious agent. Unvaccinated individuals or those who have not developed immunity to this pathogen are afforded an indirect measure of protection because those with immunity reduce the spread of the pathogen throughout the entire population.
