vaxxers
Vaccination support crowd
Vaxxers are people who support or advocate for vaccination.
The term emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic as a counterpart to anti-vaxxers, though it's used far less frequently than its opposite.
Sometimes used dismissively by vaccine skeptics: The vaxxers want to force everyone to get the jab.
