The country singer took an injection of the Moderna vaccine and joked on Instagram that she had received “a dose of the medicine itself”.
Parton, 75, received his Covid injection at Vanderbilt Health in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday.
The singer also posted a video on social media asking her followers to get the vaccine if they are eligible, and said she was “old enough” and “smart” to get the vaccine.
Parton’s blouse – which matched his blue mask – even had an appropriate design for the vaccine, with slits in the arms for the injection to be administered.
She improvised her hit “Jolene” by singing: Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. I’m begging you, please don’t hesitate … because once you die, it’s a little bit late. ”
Parton encouraged his followers to “go there and take their picture” before taking their own photo on the camera.
His jab was administered by his friend, Dr. Naji Abumrad.
“” I am so happy that you are here and that you are giving a great message, “said Dr. Abumrad.
The singer also used antivaxxers in her video message.
“I just want to tell all of you cowards: don’t be so crouching. Go there and take your chance, ”she said.
Parton’s donation was partially used to finance Covid de Moderna vaccines, something she didn’t even know until her name appeared in a preliminary report.
