The Leavenworth Times
A Leavenworth County commissioner suggested Wednesday the county government ask people to sign a consent waiver before receiving a dose of the new Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Commissioner Mike Stieben wants people receiving the vaccine to understand it was developed using cell lines derived from aborted fetuses.
Commissioners ultimately discussed developing an information sheet about the vaccine instead of requiring a signed waiver.
So far, the Leavenworth County Health Department has administered only doses of a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The Health Department has not received doses of the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Stieben raised the issue during a weekly meeting of the County Commission.
