Jags - Jabs / Vaccinations

[drmorgans]

I noticed the BBC website is using "jags" to refer to covid vaccinations. Is this a local term or is Tarquin the intern in the content department a bit dim?

Stinging nettles are jaggie/jaggy nettles or just jaggies. Something pointed can be jagged so an injection that is sharp and stinging being called a "jag" makes sense to me.

10.10 P/P I knew Jag would remind me of TTT, how did you guess

assuming the government don't change their own rules again, everybody will be "two jags" by the end of this year.
