Would you entertain the possibility that the meme is simply a joke of the absurd/funny type? Perhaps the author simply wanted the viewers to laugh at how silly the image is? Perhaps it is the general understanding that one would only receive a single shot plus a few boosters throughout their lifetime, if one were to stay within the realm of normalcy. However, the meme seems to imply that the gentleman in the photograph instead is attempting to collect as many of all types of COVID shots available throughout the world and considers himself a sort of champion. Could you imagine a contrived comedic scenario in which COVID shots are to be collected as trophies? I am wracked with hearty guffaws at the mere thought! Ha!

Tbh, that is far from the first thought that comes to my mind. And I waded through too much anti-vaxxer bullcrap memes to not see resemblances.
