revaccination

/ɹᵻvˌæksᵻnˈeɪʃən/ noun

A second or subsequent vaccination.

Word Origin From Latin vacca 'cow' — vaccination originally referred to the cowpox virus used to immunize against smallpox. Revaccination is the act of vaccinating again. The same root gives us vaccine and vaccinate. The story is famous: Edward Jenner noticed milkmaids who got cowpox didn't get smallpox, leading to the first vaccine. So the word literally means 'cow-related.'

noun A second or subsequent vaccination. countable
