AFP PHOTO 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. "Being vaccinated... is an act of love," the 84-year old said. "And contributing to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one's family and friends, love for all people".
