Country music legend Dolly Parton has received her first shot of the coronavirus vaccine in the US.
The 75-year-old actually helped to fund the Moderna vaccine and was filmed being jabbed in a video she uploaded to her Instagram account with the caption: "Dolly gets a dose of her own medicine."
In the video, she tells her followers: "I'm finally gonna get my vaccine. I'm so excited. I'm old enough to get it, I'm smart enough to get it, so I'm very happy."
Parton then went on to reveal a reworked version of her classic hit 'Jolene' to "fit the occasion".
