Dr. Andrew Liu who practices medicine in Vacaville, California, put his own spin on the song “My Shot,” rewriting it to tout the benefits of getting vaccinated against COVID-19, KVOR reported.

He and other medical professionals, who call themselves Vax in 8, sang and danced to the re-imagined song after he realized how many people were unwilling to get the vaccine, The Los Angeles Times reported.

After Liu had the idea for the song, he then asked others at his hospital not only to help brainstorm ideas, writing the song about four months ago, but also to appear in the production. The final edit was released earlier this month.

Dr. Tony Berger’s son made the animation used to illustrate how the vaccine works.

Dr. Tuong-Vi Ha, Liu’s wife and a fellow medical doctor, told KOVR she hopes that the video will help get people to trust the medicine and science and not the misinformation that is floating around on social media.
