immunized

Given protective shots

Immunized means protected against a disease, typically through vaccination or prior exposure.

Someone who has been immunized has developed resistance to a specific infection: All the children were immunized against measles.

The term extends figuratively to any built-up resistance: Years of criticism had immunized her to negative reviews.
