Rebecca

In this context, a "booster" refers to an additional vaccine shot. After having the initial doses, you get another dose after some time to make sure the vaccine is strong enough in your body. The Christmas song is a parody of having Christmas during the COVID-19 pandemic, so there are a lot of references to that here! Ex: I'm going to get a booster today. Ex: Jane booked an appointment for a booster shot on Monday.
