La Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles alienta encarecidamente a los católicos a recibir una vacuna COVID-19 segura y eficaz por nosotros mismos, nuestros seres queridos y el bien común. Si algunos fieles optan por no vacunarse por motivos de conciencia, el Vaticano dice que esas personas “deben hacer todo lo posible para evitar ... convertirse en vehículos de transmisión del agente infeccioso ".

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles strongly encourages Catholics to receive a safe and effective COVID 19 vaccine for the sake of ourselves, our loved ones, and the common good. If some of the faithful choose not to take the vaccine for reasons of conscience, the Vatican says those persons “must do their utmost to avoid … becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent.” It is important for all of us as clergy to share this message and encourage our faithful to receive the COVID 19 vaccine when able, so as to ensure the health and safety of our parish communities. We must also help those who chose not to take the vaccine to take the proper precautions to limit transmission.

Attached is the Note of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the Morality of using Some Anti-Covid-19 Vaccines for your guidance.
