    A vaccine not an inoculation! 

    There is a subtle difference , but to most non medical people the words can be interchangeable!

    Today, the two words often refer to any injection made against any disease. If there's any difference in usage, "vaccination" refers to preventative injections, like childhood dip/tet shots, while "inoculation" refers both to preventative shots and also to treatments subsequent to infection, for example snake-bite anti-toxin.
