I have been doing research into the ingredients in MMR, Chickenpox, Hep A and (some) Polio vaccines. These vaccines all contain human diploid cells from aborted human fetuses. I have refused these vaccines for my own children, but when discussing with others they wonder if they need to avoid them also since the church has not come out against the vaccination of children. Is there any teaching that supports the avoidance of these vaccines specifically? Or that supports the non use of things that have been derived from human beings.
 
Relevant Radio had a nice piece on the vaccination topic a couple of weeks ago and noted that accepting the vaccinations would be remote material cooperation with this evil and therefore not sinful for you. However, it is certainly good to let your voice be heard and inquire about alternatives. Some have suggested that developing a “Catholic” chicken pox vaccine might be a great way to witness to this issue.
