As Pfizer and Moderna begin to roll out their much anticipated COVID-19 vaccines at hospitals across the country, many religious leaders are urging their followers to receive it with open arms despite moral qualms by some faithful.
Distribution of the vaccine began Tuesday in New Jersey among front-line health care workers, and it is expected to become available to the general public in the coming months.
The pandemic that has taken the lives of more than 300,000 Americans spared no religious, ethnic or racial group. But a considerable portion of the population remains wary of the vaccines because of potential side effects. Others have raised moral issues related to a vaccine composed of fetal tissue.
