Vac is a short, informal abbreviation often used for vacuum or vaccine in contexts where the full term has been established. It functions as a clipped noun or descriptor in casual speech, generally requiring rapid articulation. In specialized jargon, it may appear as shorthand within written notes or transcription annotations, but spoken usage remains primarily as part of compound terms or rapid dialogue.
