Sally is a pro-vaxxer, she's like everyone else who vaccinates their kids unlike anti-vaxxers who think they know better than someone with years of study and research.

Pro-Vaxxer: noun
Someone that has evaluated empirical, objective, and unbiased research into immunology (and associated scientific disciplines); versus “natural”, “holistic”, and/or other unproven/unprovable treatments; and has determined that: 1) immunology is a sound and proven science, 2) that the claims of those that deny, question, or attempt to repudiate vaccines and vaccination are meritless and very often conflicting with reality, and 3) that many of the more outrageous claims of vaccine detractors (such as vaccines containing human DNA from aborted fetuses) are unfounded rhetoric at best...and fear mongering at worst.

A useful mug who shills for pharmaceutical companies to have trillions of dollars in profit, claiming they are pro-science, while simultaneously having never read a single vaccine study.
A pro-vaxxer thinks that people who question vaccines are "killing their grandma", or "baby killers", or "science deniers", while conveniently forgetting that vaccines contain aborted fetus cells, formaldehyde, synthetic genetic material, vaccines are literally designed to harm (and thus cannot be classified as medicine), and many many people have died within hours of having a vaccine, but no-one has ever died as a direct consequence of refusing to be injected with formaldehyde.
Pro-vaxxers like to make the argument that you'd use a seatbelt in a car because it saves lives, while totally ignoring the obvious point that car makers are legally liable to make the car and seatbelt safe, whereas vaccine companies are legally exempt from making their product safe.
Pro-vaxxers simply like to feel morally superior to people that actually think for themselves, so they construct an advanced playlist of logical fallacies that they trot out to avoid being caught.
"You're an idiot" - ad hominem
"You're a science denier" - hypocrisy, appeal to science (fallacious because the science doesn't support pro-vaxxers)
"So you like killing babies?" - red herring
"You're literally a flat-earther!" - non-sequitur masquerading as an ad hominem

"Did you hear that the new Pfizer vaccine killed that doctor in Miami-Dade?"
"Nah, it was just coincidence that he had never had any major health issues, then died 24 hours after being injected. Total coincidence."
"So you're a pro-vaxxer then?"
"I wonder why pharmaceutical companies are legally exempt from making their product safe?"
"That's because it would cost too much."
"Didn't stop the car companies from being legally liable when they made that claim. Are you a pro-vaxxer?"
"Did you get your flu shot?"
"You know that in the over-50s the flu shot made you more likely to catch the same flu you were just vaccinated for?"
"You're a science denier, vaccines are SAFE! They WORK."
"So you haven't read Flannery 2020 that's listed on the CDC website? I'm guessing you're a pro-vaxxer."

Someone who vaccinates him- or herself, as well as their offspring. They do this because vaccines are known to be safe, and much cheaper than hospitalization, a lifelong handicap, or a funeral.
Unless antivaxxers, who only seem to study at the universities of Facebook and YouTube, pro-vaxxers get their medical information from respected sources, such as scientific journals like Science, Nature, or the New England Journal of Medicine. They also frequently consult with licensed medical professionals like doctors and nurses.

Parent 1: Look there, it's Timmy in a cute little wheelchair because his parents did not vaccinate him against polio.
