EN: booster shot
In the post-pandemic Philippines, 'booster' doesn't mean a rocket engine or a fan. It means one thing: the follow-up vaccine shot. It's the topic of conversation in the office pantry, the reason for the long lines at the barangay hall, and the key to getting that updated VaxCertPH for your travel plans. 'Nagpa-booster ka na?' is the new 'Kumain ka na?'.
From English 'booster'.
A direct loanword that became extremely common during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
🇵🇭 Kailangan nating lahat magpa-booster para sa dagdag na proteksyon.
