The video shows Arnold sitting on the passenger side of a black SUV with the window open.

Wearing a protective mask and the sleeve of his shirt up to expose his biceps, the actor was all a joke while a nurse came in to inoculate him.

– Put that needle down! he joked when she approached him, as an apparent reference to his often quoted quote from Jingle All the Way ‘Drop that cookie!’

The whole ordeal seemed quite painless and took less than a minute to complete. ‘All done!’ said the nurse as she applied a bandage and congratulated Schwarzenegger.
