inoculations
Disease prevention injections
Inoculations are medical procedures that introduce a substance into the body to produce immunity against a disease, most commonly through vaccines.
The term covers both the act of inoculating and the substances used.
While vaccination is technically a specific type of inoculation, the words are often used interchangeably in everyday speech.
The clinic offers free inoculations for children before the school year begins.
