GRAND RAPIDS, MI Michigan’s seven Catholic bishops said COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna are “morally permissible” but raised concerns about AstraZenca’s vaccine using a cell line that originated from tissue of an aborted fetus.
Pfizer and Moderna have received emergency approval for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Association. Pfizer’s vaccine has already rolled out across the country while Moderna expects to begin shipping its vaccine on Sunday, Dec. 20.
