immunoprotection
Shielding from pathogens
Immunoprotection refers to the defense against disease or infection provided by the immune system, whether naturally occurring or induced through vaccination or other medical interventions.
The term appears most often in scientific and medical contexts discussing how antibodies, immune cells, or treatments shield the body from pathogens.
The vaccine provided strong immunoprotection against the virus for at least six months.
