vaxxer
Injection prevention supporter
A vaxxer is someone who advocates for vaccination or who has been vaccinated—typically used in contrast to anti-vaxxer.
The term gained currency during the COVID-19 pandemic, often appearing in debates about vaccine mandates and public health policy: The vaxxers and anti-vaxxers argued endlessly online.
Sometimes used self-descriptively with pride or irony.
