Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "immunization" with "immunity". "Immunization" is the process (usually getting a vaccine), while "immunity" is the state of being protected from a disease. They also often think "immunization" and "vaccination" are different processes; in most everyday contexts, they mean the same thing.
