The UK’s National Health Service is hoping a small dose of humour will help get the word out about COVID-19 vaccines for high-risk age groups.
In a newly-released PSA, Sir Elton John finds himself “auditioning” for the role of vaccine spokesperson for the NHS as the vaccination campaign is opening up bookings and encouraging people over the age of 70 to get vaccinated beginning in mid-February.
Taking direction from a voice off-screen, John tries his best to deliver his lines in a variety of ways and pretends to react to getting the vaccine jab in another take.
