A person who opposes vaccination and works against vaccination programs.
From antivaccination + -ist (one who practices). Identifies historical and contemporary activists opposing public health vaccination efforts.
Antivaccinationists have existed since Edward Jenner's 1796 smallpox vaccine—some objections came from genuine side effects, others from ideology, showing that skepticism of medicine is centuries old, not just modern.
