Why is it masculine?
Vaccin is masculine in French. The word derives from the Latin "vaccinus" (relating to cows, from "vacca"), and was introduced into French in the late 18th century by Edward Jenner's vaccination technique. The masculine gender was inherited from the Latin masculine form and is standard in French medical terminology. However, the gender assignment is primarily due to the Latin source language rather than following a predictable modern French gender rule.
