There are various issues for Catholics to consider when getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. The Catholic Church has made it clear that, in general, getting vaccinated to both care for your own body and as an act of charity towards others by helping to stem spread of the virus is important and worthy of our support. As we now enter a phase with vaccine options and people are hearing of certain risks with some brands, it should be noted that all the vaccines are not morally the same either. Please consider these issues should you be presented with an option of which vaccine to get. Please click on the link above for more information.
