Dolly Parton sings ’vaccine, vaccine’ Jolene rewrite as she gets Covid-19 jab

Dolly Parton’s hit ’Jolene’ has been given a rewrite as the country star received her Covid-19 vaccination and urged others to get theirs.

Parton, 75, sang "vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine... I’m begging of you, please don’t hesitate... ’cos once you’re dead, that’s a bit too late".

Shortly after performing her remix, she was herself injected with the Moderna vaccine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday.

Parton donated $1m (£716,000) to the same medical centre to help fund an early stage-trial of the Moderna vaccine. In these trials, the Moderna jab was found to offer nearly 95 per cent protection against severe Covid-19.
