A video of healthcare workers at a Boston hospital breaking into a celebratory dance upon receiving their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine is being widely shared on social media.
In the video, which is now circulating on social media, Boston Medical Center (BMC) health workers are seen dancing outside the facility as they prepare to receive vaccines.
Wearing masks, shields and scrubs, health workers dance to the beat of the hit song by American singer Lizzo. “Good as hell.”
The video, which was initially posted on the hospital’s TikTok account, was shared on Twitter by BMC CEO Kate Walsh.
“Why I love my job @The_BMC! Teams of people working to distribute vaccines safely and equitably to their front-line colleagues, who are cheered by their friends celebrating the arrival of vaccines! A great day, a great place, ”he wrote.

The United States began distributing the Covid-19 vaccine on December 14 after the Food and Drug Administration authorized an emergency launch of the Pfizer vaccine. Healthcare workers are among the first on the list to be vaccinated.
According to Boston.com, Boston Medical Center has received 1,950 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine so far.
