False. Passive immunity is protection against a disease or toxin that is produced by another organism. This immunity is given to an individual rather than developed by their own immune system. Examples of passive immunity include antibodies passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy or through breast milk, or the administration of pre-made antibodies as a treatment for a disease.
