vaccinations
- 1Plural of vaccination.
The travel nurse recommended several vaccinations before our trip abroad.
Routine childhood vaccinations have sharply reduced cases of measles and polio.
Note
A plural that belongs only to the countable side of vaccination. Counted, the word means individual shots or courses: several vaccinations before a trip, all of a child's routine vaccinations. The practice in general stays singular and usually takes no article, as in a debate about vaccination. A clinic gives vaccinations, while a policy promotes vaccination. Use the plural when a number or 'several' could stand in front of it.
