Did you know?
- The word vacuna is closely related to the Spanish word for cow, vaca. This connection exists because the first vaccine for smallpox was derived from cowpox.
- While 'shot records' in English uses a term for a projectile, the Spanish registro de vacunación avoids any reference to a 'shot' as a projectile, focusing instead on the medical 'vaccination' itself.
- The term expediente used in expediente de vacunas is also the word used for a legal case file or a student's entire academic transcript.
