Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is vocabulary related to vaccinations (for example: ziębiolaki, NOPowcy, szczepionkowcy, antyszczepionkowcy, odrzańcy, Anioły Mengelego, ebolacy, rtęciaki). The basic material were the statements posted on online forums and groups on Facebook (with particular distinction StopNOP and Szczepić czy NIE — racjonalnie o szczepieniach). The collected material has 146 lexical units collected in February 2019 from the statements of members of groups and internet forums, which were published in the period from January 2017 to January 2019. The research has a material character and mainly concerns semantic and functional phenomena. Thanks to the analysis it was possible to compare the naming strategies used by both parties involved in the dispute.
