| Vaccination is the act of putting a small quantity of disease-producing virus into a person or an animal, so that their body will react against it and thus protect them from catching the disease. You can be vaccinated against tetanus, meningitis, diphteria, smallpox, polio, hepatitis, measles, whooping cough, etc. |

Hello Conchita
Would you please explain the meaning of "pet deposit" in this case for me?
Many thanks to you.

In case it is still interesting for someone but me:
Pet deposit just as well as pet fee: refundable & non-refundable sums of money specified by the oral or written contract & due to be payed by the lessee to the lessor in case of a possible damage to the rented property caused by certain actions of your beloved pet etc.

God only knows :)
I assume, you can rightfully say it's a set phrase (at least, in AE). Though the difference is very slight. Mainly, it's based upon whether or not this or that expression is added to the regular dictionary.
