A new Pfizer ad for its version of the COVID-19 vaccine features Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce encouraging viewers to get the latest vaccine while receiving a flu shot.
The ad features Kelce visiting a doctor, who tells him people can get their flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine during the same visit. Kelce then imagines doing different activities at the same time, such as mowing a lawn while grilling or doing bench presses while talking to a reporter.

“With my schedule, saving time is key,” Kelce’s statement on social media read. “The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop! Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it would be right for you.”
Comments on the post have been turned off. Kelce’s social media post also stated the ad is “for U.S. residents only” and is meant to be viewed “as it was originally produced in partnership with Pfizer.”
The football player has become popular online amid rumors he is dating Taylor Swift. The singer was spotted cheering on the Chiefs on Sunday.

Earlier this year, Kelce made a cameo appearance in a Bud Light ad, which was released as the brand attempted a comeback on social media. Bud Light and its owner, Anheuser-Busch, have received major pushback online over a partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney in March.
The new Pfizer ad comes as some have expressed concern that COVID-19 could make a comeback in the near future. The Biden administration reopened a program to send free COVID-19 tests through the mail on Monday.
