LOS ANGELES CA — Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined the crowds of seniors who waited in line to be among the first to get their COVID-19 virus vaccinations Wednesday in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium.

The 73-year-old action movie star made it clear that he wants to terminate the outbreak, tweeting a video of himself getting the shot.

“All right. I just got my vaccine, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Come with me if you want to live!" he said, using his classic line from his "Terminator" series of films.

His choice of apocalyptic films was, perhaps, apropos in a surreal year in which Dodger Stadium served as the nation’s largest coronavirus testing center instead of a baseball stadium.

“Today was a good day,” he tweeted. “I have never been happier to wait in a line. If you’re eligible, join me and sign up to get your vaccine ... Thanks for checking me in at @Dodgers Stadium.”

Schwarzenegger also tested a line from his 1996 Christmas movie “Jingle All the Way,” telling the woman giving him the shot to “put that needle down.”

The shot was the first of two required to establish coronavirus immunity. That can only mean one thing: He’ll be back.
