vaccinated
Protected by injection
Vaccinated describes someone who has received a vaccine—a preparation that stimulates immunity against a disease.
The term gained everyday prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when vaccination status affected access to travel, venues, and workplaces: Are you vaccinated?
The restaurant requires guests to be fully vaccinated.
To vaccinate is to administer such a preparation.
