revaccinated

Got another jab

Revaccinated means vaccinated again—having received an additional dose of a vaccine after an initial vaccination.

The term appears in medical contexts when immunity needs boosting or when a previous vaccination may not have taken effect: All students entering the dormitory must be revaccinated against measles.
