Dolly Parton Receives Second Dose Of Own Medicine, 'Don't Be A Chicken Squat'
Singer and icon Dolly Parton is finally fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine she helped fund and is still urging anyone who hasn't gone out to get their jabs, to do so as soon as they can.
The 75-year-old received her first dose on March 2 and took the final jab on Friday at Vanderbilt University, where the Moderna vaccine was developed. Dr. Naji Abumrad administered both of her doses and is described as one of her longtime friends.

After her first dose, she released a video to tell fans, and the rest of America, to get vaccinated for their own safety, and the safety of others.
"I just want to say to all you cowards out there, don't be such a chicken squat," she said. "Go out and get your shot."

The “Jolene” singer donated $1 million to research and development efforts at Vanderbilt for this vaccine in November of 2020.
Many Americans have thanked her for being so passionate about COVID-19 relief and have pushed many to get the “Dolly vaccine.”
Things I enjoy:
