vaccinator
Administers protective injections
A vaccinator is a person who administers vaccines—typically a nurse, doctor, or trained healthcare worker.
The term appears most often in public health contexts describing mass immunization efforts: Vaccinators went door to door during the polio campaign.
It can also refer to an instrument used to deliver vaccines, though this sense is uncommon.
