Some Roman Catholic leaders in U.S. call Johnson & Johnson vaccine morally compromised
March 4, 2021 / 2:07 PM / CBS/AP Ohio rolls out Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses
Roman Catholic leaders in St. Louis and New Orleans are advising Catholics that the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, newly approved for use in the U.S., is morally compromised because it is produced using a cell line derived from an aborted fetus. The New Orleans Archdiocese says the decision to receive a vaccine is one of individual conscience.
In its statement late last week, it stopped short of advising Catholics not to take the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but adds that Catholics should choose coronavirus vaccines made by Moderna or Pfizer if they are available.
