védoltási

védoltási is a Hungarian neologism used to describe a system or policy approach aimed at producing protective effects against harm. In public health discourse, it is sometimes employed to denote the combination of interventions that reduce risk, such as vaccination campaigns, surveillance, rapid response, and risk communication. The term is not yet standardized in official guidelines and may appear mainly in academic articles, policy briefs, or advocacy writing. Etymology: it derives from védelem (defense, protection) and oltás (vaccination) with the suffix -ási forming a nominal concept of the act or practice of protecting through vaccination or protective measures. The suffix does not imply a fixed technical definition, and the precise scope can vary by author.

In use, védoltási can indicate a comprehensive approach to risk mitigation rather than a single intervention. For example, a public health plan might be described as aiming at enhanced védoltási by combining immunization coverage with disease surveillance, laboratory testing, contact tracing, and risk communication. In other fields—such as information security or environmental protection—the term is sometimes adopted metaphorically to describe layered protective strategies that reduce exposure to hazards.
