CDC Changed Definitions Of Vaccine And Vaccination Over The Weekend

Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.”

The term “vaccine” also got a makeover. The CDC’s definition changed from “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease” to the current “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

And I think they've been selling us a rotten bill of goods.
A vaccine that doesn't give the recipient immunity, is not a vaccine.

Or it could be that the CDC stopped using the colloquial definition in place of the more technically correct one that’s always been around but they don’t teach in grade school
