Workers at a Boston hospital have gone viral with their heartwarming celebration upon receiving their first doses of the coronavirus vaccine.

In a video posted to social media platform TikTok, employees of Boston Medical Center are shown dancing outside the facility as they prepare to receive the vaccines.

Clad in scrubs, the medical workers executed a partially choreographed dance to Lizzo’s hit song “Good As Hell.”

“Why I love my job ⁦@The_BMC!,” CEO Kate Walsh wrote on Twitter. “Teams of people working to safely and equitably distribute vaccines to their front line colleagues getting cheered on by their friends celebrating the arrival of the vaccines!”

The U.S. started its vaccination process Monday after the Food and Drug Administration gave emergency authorization to Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine last week, allowing emergency shipments of it to go out nationwide.

Health care workers are among the first on the list to be inoculated.
