Dolly Parton sings vaccine version of Jolene before getting her COVID-19 shot
Dolly Parton has written hundreds of songs over her decades-long career and it turns out her tune Jolene is the one just right for getting her COVID-19 vaccine.
Key points:
- Dolly Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbuilt University Medical Centre — money which helped fund the Moderna vaccine
- The singer had said she was going to wait to get vaccinated so as not to look like she was skipping the queue
- The doctor who administered the shot was an old friend of Parton’s
“I even changed one of my songs to fit the occasion. It goes, ‘Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I’m begging of you please don’t hesitate,'” the actor, singer and humanitarian sang in a social media post on Tuesday, just before receiving her shot of the Moderna vaccine.
