HARRISBURG, Pa. The Diocese of Harrisburg announced its support for the position of the United States Conference of Bishops (USCCB)’s on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The USCCB is urging Catholics to avoid taking the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after it raised moral concerns over its development.
USCCB wrote in a release,
“If one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s.”
Pennsylvanians who have grown frustrated about navigating the stateâs decentralized system in search of the COVID-19 vaccine could have an alternative.
A new bill introduced Monday in the state House of Representatives seeks to create a centralized COVID-19 vaccination registry for people who want to get the vaccine.
The âCOVID-19 Vaccine Registry Actâ would require the Pennsylvania Department of Health to maintain a database where residents could schedule a vaccine appointment for themselves, their spouses or significant others, and their families.
Vaccine providers would be required access the registry and prioritize registrants for scheduling appointments, which would prevent people from spending hours trying to find and sign up for available appointments.
