The books of Macabbees, along with a few other extraneous writings which Rome has carelessly included as part of the Scriptures, do not appear in the Jewish canon of Hebrew books which comprise the Old Testament.

The Vulgate derives from the Septuagint anyway.

My apologies. The Vulgate does not derive solely from the Septuagint. St. Jerome did his best to pull from the most original sources he could find.
