Q: Which of these vaccines leads to a stronger immune response than what would occur after natural infection?

A. HPV vaccine 
B. Hepatitis B vaccine 
C. Rotavirus vaccine
D. Chickenpox vaccine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The correct answer is A. HPV Vaccine
The HPV vaccine, which prevents cervical cancer in women, elicits a stronger immune response and thus provides greater protection against the virus than if a person gained immunity to the virus from infection. Hib and tetanus vaccines also provide greater protection than acquiring immunity through natural infection.
