MASSAPEQUA PARK, N.Y. – Health officials say hundreds of people may have been exposed to hepatitis A while receiving communion on Christmas Day at a church on Long Island, N.Y.
The Nassau County Health Department said Monday it will offer vaccines this week to anyone who received communion at the church Dec. 25. A church spokesman told Newsday that the investigation was ongoing and that he could not identify who might have transmitted the virus.
Also regrettable is that the vaccines suggested are problematic. That is all current Hep A vaccines are derived from aborted tissue. The National Catholic Bioethics Center state that it is morally permissible to use them and that an examination of conscience would recommend in favor of immunization against contagious disease.
Mark 16:18
they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
