REVACCINATE Meaning and Definition

1. Revaccinate refers to the process of administering an additional dose of a vaccine to an individual who has previously received a series of vaccines. It involves repeating the vaccination procedure with the aim of reinforcing or boosting the person's immune response to the particular pathogen or disease targeted by the vaccine.

   The primary purpose of revaccination is to enhance the body's immune system's ability to produce a more robust and prolonged immunity against a specific disease. Reasons for revaccination may include the need to maintain adequate protection over time, to counteract a waning immune response, or to strengthen the immunity against a new variant or strain of the disease.

   Revaccination commonly occurs in a predetermined schedule that ensures the optimal timing for booster shots. This schedule is typically designed to maximize the effectiveness and longevity of protection against the targeted pathogen. The dosage and timing of revaccination may vary depending on the specific vaccine, the individual's age, overall health, and any underlying medical conditions.

   Revaccination is critical in preventing the resurgence or re-emergence of infectious diseases, as it bolsters the immune system's ability to recognize and fight off pathogens after the initial vaccination. It plays a vital role in maintaining individual and herd immunity, particularly in the case of highly contagious diseases. Revaccination is an essential strategy employed in public health campaigns to control the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases and ensure the overall health and well-being of populations.

2. To vaccinate a second time.

Etymology of REVACCINATE

The word "revaccinate" is derived from the Latin word "revaccinatus", which is a combination of "re" (meaning "again") and "vaccinatus" (meaning "vaccinated"). The Latin word "vaccinatus" is derived from "vacca" (meaning "cow"), as it refers to the practice of immunization by using cowpox virus, which was discovered by Edward Jenner in the late 18th century. Over time, the term "vaccinate" came to refer to the broader concept of immunization against various diseases, and the prefix "re-" was added to "vaccinate" to indicate the action of vaccinating again or giving a second dose of a vaccine.
