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.
