Jabbed entered mainstream British slang during the COVID-19 pandemic as casual shorthand for being vaccinated — specifically having received a vaccine injection. The jab (British term for a needle injection) was the source, and jabbed quickly became the past tense of choice in everyday speech. It's straightforward and widely used, though it also carries derogatory undertones in anti-vaccination communities.
(slang, derogatory) Vaccinated; inoculated.
(British, Australian, NZ, informal, neologism) A person who opposes vaccination or refuses to be vaccinated (especially against COVID-19).
(British) A medical hypodermic injection (vaccination or inoculation).
