VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis said getting the coronavirus vaccine was 'an act of love' Wednesday, as the head of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics joined a campaign to boost confidence in Covid-19 jabs.

'Thanks to God and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from Covid-19,' Francis said in a message for the US-based 'It's Up to You' initiative.
