Examples of immunize in a Sentence

  1. Henrietta Fore:

  2. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott:

  4. Olivier Véran:

It could be that you go in, use mRNA vaccines to rapidly immunize a population, stabilize it, but then over time, you're going to have to come in with a heterologous boost that's a different technology.
