Morphology
unvaccinated = vaccinated (transparent) = un + vaccinate + ed
Negative prefix 'un-' is added to 'vaccinated' to yield 'not having received a vaccine', a directly inferable meaning for learners.
Etymology
Unvaccinated breaks into un- meaning 'not' and vaccine, from the Latin vacca meaning 'cow', because the first vaccine used cowpox to protect people. So unvaccinated means 'not given a vaccine', not protected by vaccination.
