     To inoculate with the cowpox by means of a virus, called
     vaccine, taken either directly or indirectly from cows; now,
     generally, to administer (by injection or otherwise) any
     vaccine with the objective of rendering the recipient immune
     to an infectious disease. One who has been thus immunized by
     vaccination is said to be
  
     vaccinated against a particular disease. One may be thus
        immunized (vaccinated) also by oral ingestion or
        inhalation of a vaccine.
