boosters
Shots after shots
Boosters are things or people that increase, support, or amplify something.
A booster shot reinforces immunity from an earlier vaccination.
Booster seats raise children to proper height.
Campaign boosters are enthusiastic supporters who promote a cause or candidate.
Rocket boosters provide extra thrust during launch.
The word suggests augmentation—adding power, height, protection, or enthusiasm to what already exists.
