If vaccinating children have such a risk, dozens would have died in the US where over 10 million have been immunised.
Very poor decision IMO.

Well they're not immune, are they? And nobody has received an invite for an immunity jab, have they?
Re: Europe July.????
They are immunised. It doesn't mean to make someone immune, but to bolster the immune system against a pathogen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunization
The word is more commonly used in other English speaking countries, and by translation than in the UK.

Re: Europe July.????
I am immune to such imported sophistry.
Re: Europe July.????
What's the objection, please?
Immunisation v Vaccination, and if so why?
Or that the vaccination isn't totally effective so not all recipients are immune to the disease?
Thanks
Jonathan

Re: Europe July.????
See the bold text. Or see the first google result:
OR for an alternate view, read the reply above from our esteemed Moderatorverb
past tense: immunised; past participle: immunised
make (a person or animal) immune to infection, typically by inoculation.
Re: Europe July.????
Thanks.
But I don't understand what your objection is.

Re: Europe July.????
I don't know the poster's intent, but it was the first time that I've seen jab recipients as "Immunised"; it's possible that would skew the assessment of jab pros/cons.
Re: Europe July.????
Thanks.

It doesn't mean "and have all been rendered immune to the disease".

It's common usage in that sense of "the thing has been done to them", eg:roubaixtuesday wrote: ↑27 Jul 2021, 8:24pmIf vaccinating children have such a risk, dozens would have died in the US where over 10 million have been immunised.

Next time if you could preface with [pointless semantic pedantry incoming], that would help, so I could completely ignore the gnomism.mattheus wrote: ↑28 Jul 2021, 12:41pm(is gnomic a gnomic word choice?

Immunity is a gradation not a binary. Almost no vaccine confers total immunity, but nevertheless, "immunisation" is a commonly used synonym.
Degree of immunity inferred by vaccines against the various impacts of delta COVID as used in the modelling groups commissioned by sage:
Re: Europe July.????
You couldn't infer that I meant for COVID? In a thread about a COVID pandemic? This is the sort of nonsense I predicted when I took the trouble to answer your question ... <sigh> ...

What's the difference in the usage?

Sorry if you find that pointless, but most would agree that word choice matters; different synonyms rarely create identical impacts.
