Answer and Explanation:

The spread of measles was halted from spreading by developing a vaccine. This is a type of active artificial acquired immunity where the antibodies are formed in the response to administration of dead or attenuated pathogens or toxoids through vaccination. Vaccination protects humans from infections of many diseases. Examples include tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, whooping cough, diphtheria and measles. Measle vaccine is administered 9 months after birth through subcutaneous injection.
