WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Around the country, Catholics are being urged by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to not get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine if given the choice between the three COVID-19 vaccines because of the connection with cells from an aborted baby.
“The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is produced in cells that were derived from a fetus that was aborted in Holland way back in 1985,” said Dr. Paul Kamitsuka, an infectious disease specialist at NHRMC.
