Morphology

post + a + vaxxie

The verb 'post' (to upload) combined with 'vaxxie' — a slang blend of 'vax' (vaccine) + 'selfie' — yields a compositional sense 'upload a vaccination selfie', so the meaning is partly recoverable for learners who recognise the blending. However, 'vaxxie' is a neologism/slang that requires morphological decomposition and cultural/social-media knowledge that many B1 learners may lack, making the expression not fully predictable.

Etymology

Post a vaxxie comes from people taking a selfie right after getting a 'vaccine'. One popular idea is that vaxxie is a mix of 'vaccine' and 'selfie', so to post a vaxxie means to put that photo on social media to show you had your shot and to encourage others.
