The Iowa Catholic Conference and the four Catholic Dioceses of Iowa recently launched a video campaign across Iowa to help encourage the use of the COVID vaccine. Despite its effectiveness, many in the general population are hesitant to receive the vaccine. The campaign features Iowans from across the state sharing their reasoning for supporting the vaccine.

The Vatican encourages us to advocate for the development of vaccines with no connection to abortion. To make it easier to take this action, the bishops have made available sample letters to pharmaceutical companies that are using abortion-derived cell lines asking them to use non-abortion-derived cell sources.
