A shot or a jab?

It is flu season here in Cambridge and everywhere you look you can see a sign about getting a flu jab. Hmmm, which is worse a jab or a shot?

I'll take a "poke" at answering...

"shot" seems extremely violent context of weaponry but non-threatening concerning sports

"jab" does not have the same extreme violent connotations yet in most contexts (I'm familiar with) holds a strong level of antagonism.

"jab" seems more accurate for the experience... but, I think I would rather continue to get my "shots."
