Or is a regional variation? I can't think why it would be "jags" though.

I say jags - it's Scottish because a jag is a spike or anything sharp, eg Partick Thistle's nicknames is "the Jags" because thistles are prickly

Definitely jab.

Jag I would use as in 'crying jag'.

Jab. They jab you with a needle.

Agree with jkkplu. It's a Scotticism. Only heard about jabs when I moved to London.......

Yup - definitely jags up here, as jkklpu says - like thorns and thistles.

jags - although my DC (english) think I am talking about a car.

injections is how it is described around here.
