My shot

 

Over the last few weeks, some of us New Yorkers who have not quite reached the age of 75 have been bemoaning the fact that the COVID-19 vaccine was only available to New York residents who are 75 and over. This morning, it was announced that the vaccine will now be made available to those 65 and over. Mount Sinai opened up a large number of appointments and Gd willing I will be receiving my first dose next Sunday.

All this talk of shots made me start thinking about working on a parody of the song from Hamilton, “My Shot.” Not surprisingly, it turns out that some others have beat me to it. 

The first is not specifically about Coronavirus, in fact it was originally done back in 2017. But it is still really terrific.

The second features a group of medical staff at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare in Memphis, Tennessee.

Hamilton "My Shot"

It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, it's time to take a shot
Rise up, take a shot, shot, shot
It's time to take a shot, time to take a shot
And I am not throwin' away my
Not throwin' away my shot

If you are able to be vaccinated, I do urge you to do so.  Meanwhile, continue to be vigilant and stay safe.

Love,
