<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2517380, member: 76194&quot;]The word vacuna for vaccines in spanish is derived from the Latin word for cow, vacca...which is also why the English word vaccine starts with [vacc] as it derives from medical research into cows which led to the first vaccine. It&#039;s all to do with Dr. Edward Jenner, who discovered vaccines by conducting groundbreaking research on cowpox and the effects on the immune system of cows, which led to a vaccine for smallpox (the world&#039;s first vaccine).</p><p><br /></p><p>So vacuna also being the Spanish word for vaccines is just a happy coincidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
