Vacuna is feminine because it derives from the Latin "vaccina" (feminine form, meaning "of or relating to cows"), which was used in the medical term "vaccinia" (cowpox). Spanish inherited the feminine gender from this Latin feminine adjective form that was nominalized to refer to the vaccine itself.
