I guess it's a dialect thing, but I have become accustomed to disregarding absolutely every article that employs the word "jab".


That's just what they call it in British English, and this is a BBC article.


> (British) A medical hypodermic injection (vaccination or inoculation).

From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jab

I hope that helps


The word itself is just insufferable at this point. The media collectively went bonkers for it while describing COVID vaccine delivery.
