unvaxxed
Skipped the needle
Unvaxxed means unvaccinated—not having received a vaccine, especially the COVID-19 vaccine.
The spelling reflects casual speech: My whole family got sick because my uncle showed up unvaxxed.
The term gained currency during the pandemic, often carrying political overtones in debates over vaccine mandates and personal freedom.
