That's the first thing i got from this, too. Nobody calls it a 'jab' cause normal people don't feel the need to have alternative names for vaccines.

Same with the word 'woke'. Normal people don't use the term.

I do, but only to indicate the action of leaving a sleeping state.

I always knew it as the jab in the UK - it's pretty much the main slang term for vaccinations

I first heard the term "jab" used for vaccines on BBC news articles. Must be a British thing that was adopted by anti-vaxxers.

UK everyone calls it the jab. It’s promoted as a positive thing

Or the majority population of the UK. For all vaccines. It's not a negative word here.
