EN: to get an injection; to have something injected
This is what you do when you finally decide to get that flu shot, COVID vaccine, or a gluta drip. It's the ultimate "tiis-ganda" or "tiis-kalusugan" move. You're telling the nurse, "Sige na po, magpapaturok na ako, kahit takot ako sa karayom!" (Okay, I'll get the shot, even if I'm scared of needles!).
