Morphology

proteosome + vaccine

The meaning is directly compositional: combining 'proteosome' (a proteosome-based formulation) with 'vaccine' yields a vaccine made from proteosomes, so the overall sense is predictable from the parts. The noun + vaccine pattern is a common, transparent morphological construction in English (and mirrored in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.

Etymology

Proteosome vaccine comes from the parts proteo- and -some, where proteo- means 'protein' and -some means 'small body' or piece. It refers to a vaccine made from tiny protein particles that can be breathed into the lungs, so the name helps you remember how the vaccine is given.
