Due to the similarity in sonority between "Bum Bum Tam Tam" and Instituto Butantan, the institute responsible for one of the COVID-19 vaccines to be distributed in Brazil, MC Fioti released a new version of the song in 2021, Vacina Butantan ("Butantan vaccine"). The modified lyrics incentive people to take the vaccine and was recorded inside the facilities of Instituto Butantan with employees dancing. One week after being posted, the video had amassed over six million views on YouTube.
