jabbed

Jabbed refers to the act of receiving an injection, typically a vaccine or medication, administered by a needle. The term commonly appears in discussions about public health campaigns and medical treatments. Vaccines, for example, are administered via injection to stimulate the immune system and protect against infectious diseases. Medications can also be administered in this manner to deliver drugs directly into the bloodstream or muscle tissue for rapid absorption or localized treatment. The procedure itself involves inserting a hollow needle into the body, usually the arm, thigh, or buttocks, to deliver the substance. While generally safe, potential side effects can include temporary pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Medical professionals administer injections to ensure proper technique and patient safety. The phrase "got jabbed" is a colloquial way of saying someone received an injection.
