    Some folk say jag instead of jab. Don’t think the term in itself is perjorative. Mumsnet seems to think it’s a Scottish thing https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4101033-Is-it-jab-or-jag

    Of course, there always have been some folk who get two jags

    What does a jag mean? From the rest of your post I take it to be pejorative.
    My apologies for using a colonial Scottish word.  :)

    Sorry to harp on about SM's but i've just been reading that one has had to close in Manchester as fifty staff are off with covid,one dead.
    When are SM's going to start looking after their staff...?

    Can anyone enlighten me...?
    If you've had covid and been very very ill with it, does having the vaccine then kick off the very same reaction in your body and you'll again be very ill?

    Can't do a runner anymore @philippasmith2.  Gammy knee!  But you are absolutely right.

    I asked the jag question, @philippasmith2, simply because I had never come across the word before and I am grateful for the enlightenment. I googled it first and a quick scan of the entries showed no reference to it being synonymous with jab though there was a plethora of colloquial meanings. Now it has been explained the meaning is obvious but, rather embarrassingly, I simply did not infer it. I did not agree with the denigrating tone of the rest of the post.

    You won’t be very ill from the vaccine, no, but you could be very ill if you contract it again. The vaccine can make you feel unwell (aching, headache etc) for a short time, but this is an immune response, not a re-infection.
