vaccinators
Those administering injections
Vaccinators are people who administer vaccines—healthcare workers, nurses, or volunteers trained to give injections during immunization campaigns.
The term appears most often in public health contexts: The country deployed thousands of vaccinators to reach remote villages.
During mass vaccination efforts, vaccinators may work in clinics, schools, or door-to-door.
