vaccination site

Where jabs happen

A vaccination site is a location where people receive vaccines—whether a clinic, pharmacy, hospital, or temporary facility set up during mass immunization campaigns.

The term gained wide currency during COVID-19: The city opened several vaccination sites in community centers.

It can also refer to the specific spot on the body where a vaccine is injected: Keep the vaccination site clean and dry.
