pro-vax
Supports mandatory immunizations
Pro-vax describes support for vaccines and vaccination programs.
Someone who is pro-vax believes vaccines are safe, effective, and important for public health: She's firmly pro-vax and makes sure her kids get all their shots.
The term gained prominence during debates over COVID-19 vaccination, often contrasting with anti-vax positions.
