inoculator
Delivers protective injections
An inoculator is a person or device that inoculates—introduces a vaccine, microorganism, or other substance into a body or medium.
In medicine, an inoculator administers vaccines: The inoculators worked through the night during the outbreak.
In agriculture and laboratory work, inoculators introduce bacteria or spores into soil, cultures, or growth media.
