Get vaccinated, inoculated,  or immunized.

Which is it?

 

I like the idea of a vacationed.

In most cases they are interchangeable. However, vaccination and inoculation are always medical treatments but you can be immunized through exposure. Vacationed is a nice word but doesn't always mean a holiday.

"Inoculate" has several meanings, eg "to implant microorganisms or infectious material into (a culture medium)" or "to communicate a disease to (a living organism) by transferring its causative agent into the organism".

Vaccination is the process of receiving a vaccine.
Having received the vaccine you have been vaccinated and are now immunized and immune (hopefully !)
