Morphology

vaccinated = vaccinate (transparent) = vaccine + ate + ed

Formed by the verb 'vaccinate' plus the regular adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'having received a vaccine' follows standard English morphology.

Etymology

Vaccinated comes from the Latin word vacca, meaning 'cow', because the first vaccine used a cow disease called 'cowpox' to protect people from smallpox. So, to be vaccinated means you have been given something that helps protect you from a disease.
