A cover-up in hospital: only a single vaccination (5)
I believe the answer is:
hijab
'a cover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hijab that I've seen before include "Cover" , "Muslim head covering" , "Some females may use this" , "Headscarf worn by some Muslim women" .)
