mass immunization
Population-wide vaccine drive
Mass immunization is the organized effort to vaccinate large portions of a population, typically against infectious diseases.
It may involve campaigns targeting specific groups—schoolchildren, the elderly, healthcare workers—or entire communities during outbreaks.
The mass immunization program virtually eliminated polio in the Western hemisphere.
The term emphasizes scale and coordination rather than individual doctor visits.
