Description or narrative

Pope Francis not only will be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, but stated that he believes it is ethical for everyone to receive the vaccine. He claims that while it is each individual personal ethical choice, other people rely on those around them to be vaccinated. This news article notes that Pope Francis is high-risk due to having one lung and his age. Both Pfizer and BioTech vaccines were available in Vatican City after January 2021.
