immunity shot

Disease prevention jab

An immunity shot is a small, concentrated beverage—typically one to four ounces—packed with ingredients believed to boost the immune system: ginger, turmeric, citrus, cayenne, echinacea, or similar.

Sold at juice bars and health food stores, these are meant to be downed quickly like a dose of medicine: I grabbed an immunity shot when I felt a cold coming on.
