'Vax' is Oxford Languages' word of the year.
Oxford Languages noted that"jab" in the UK and"shot" in the U.S. are synonyms of vax, but both have other meanings and are used as common colloquialisms only in certain regions taking them out of the running.
In the age of social media, vax led to words like vaxxie — a selfie taken while getting the Covid-19 shot — and vaxinista — a person who flaunts their vaccinated status by going out more and traveling more . While vax only dates back to the 1980s, anti-vax, with a different spelling, was first used in the early 1800s, not long after the word vaccinated was first recorded after English physician and scientist Edward Jenner’s work on vaccination against smallpox, Oxford Languages notes.
Jenner wrote in a letter in 1812 that"The Anti-Vacks are assailing me ... with all the force they can muster in the newspapers."
