"Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I’m begging of you, please don’t hesitate. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, because once you’re dead then that’s a bit too late," she sang.

Dolly had helped fund the Moderna vaccine by donating $1 million to the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

She encouraged her followers to get vaccinated because the sooner they "get to feeling better, the sooner we can get back to normal."

"I think we all want to get normal, whatever that is, and that would be a great shot in the arm, wouldn't it, if we can get back to that," she said.

"I just want to say to all of you cowards out there, don't be such a chicken squat, get out there and get your shot," she added. —JCB, GMA News
