Match the image to the type of immune response

Why is immunological memory important to vaccination?

• The second exposure to a stimulus has a greater response than the first exposure

• All answers are correct

• They are the basis of why vaccinations work

• The second exposure to a stimulus has a faster response than the first exposure
