Every individual must at least have general knowledge about the basics because it is crucial for a healthy lifestyle. The Main aim for the survey was “To find out what are the views of general population about some basics of immunity and vaccination”. The term Innate immunity is basically used for the physical, chemical and microbiological barriers but encompasses the various elements of the immune system which provide immune defense.
