Dolly Parton Moderna Vaccine
Country music icon Dolly Parton took the opportunity to spread a message when she got a jab of the Moderna vaccine that she helped fund the research for.
Even at 75 years young, she still has her wonderful voice, which she used to express how she feels it is important that people don’t shy away from getting a vaccine.
Just before getting her jab Dolly broke into a modified version of “Jolene” replacing the words to portray her message. Afterwhich, a doctor, Dr. Naji Abumrad, administered her vaccine with the camera still rolling.
The lyrics went like this, “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I’m begging of you please don’t hesitate,” she sang. “Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, ’cause once you’re dead then that’s a bit too late.”
Below is the original version of Jolene without the vaccine modifications.
