uninoculated

Lacking protective shots

Uninoculated means not having received an inoculation—a vaccine or other protective substance introduced into the body.

The term appears most often in medical and scientific contexts, contrasting treated and untreated groups: The uninoculated children were more susceptible to measles.

It can also describe plants or cultures that haven't been introduced to beneficial microorganisms.
