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.
She got jabbed first thing in the morning and was back at her desk by noon.
