Cabantan cited a statement from the CDF in December 2020 declaring that vaccination is “morally acceptable” in the fight against the pandemic.
He added that in the absence of other means to stop the pandemic, concern for the common good may recommend vaccination especially the weakest and most exposed. He also quoted a statement from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which said that the “act of vaccination can be ‘an act of charity… an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good.’”
“To these, and those who for reasons of conscience do not wish to be vaccinated, they must all still do their utmost to avoid becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent,” the Archbishop said.Cabantan said that earlier this year Pope Francis announced that “people have the moral obligation to receive one of those vaccines. It is a moral choice, a moral duty because it is about your life and the lives of others,” the Pope said.
