To immunize someone is to protect them from a particular illness by giving them a vaccine. The vaccine helps the body learn how to fight that illness, so they are much less likely to get very sick from it later. This is the American spelling; British English . Doctors, nurses, and news reports use this word. Friends more often say vaccinate, or give a shot.
