reinoculate
Give another shot
Reinoculate means to inoculate again, whether with a vaccine, a bacterial culture, or microorganisms introduced into soil or growing medium.
The term appears most often in medical and agricultural contexts where an initial inoculation needs repeating for effectiveness.
The doctor recommended we reinoculate the children after the outbreak.
Gardeners sometimes reinoculate legume seeds if the first bacterial treatment didn't take.
