Etymology

The word 'vaccinate' comes from the Latin word 'vaccinatus', which means 'to inoculate with cowpox'. The practice of vaccination dates back to the late 18th century when Edward Jenner developed the first successful smallpox vaccine. Vaccination has since become a crucial tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and has saved countless lives.
