inoculation
Protective jab procedure
Inoculation is the introduction of a substance into the body to produce immunity to a disease—typically a vaccine containing weakened or killed pathogens.
The term extends to any protective exposure: a small dose of criticism as inoculation against future attacks.
In agriculture, inoculation means introducing beneficial microorganisms into soil or seeds.
