The choice of vaccine is important both in terms of its effectiveness and the technology of development, the Head of the UGCC at a meeting of the AUCCRO

"The issue of vaccination is not a religious issue, but a medical one. Religious figures should not be promoters of this, as this is the responsibility of health professionals, who must fully inform citizens about the benefits and risks of vaccination. The main thing is that vaccination should be voluntary, effective, and affordable," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav.

He stressed that the main thing is that the state provides citizens with a free choice: to be vaccinated or not, as well as with a choice of a vaccine. According to the Head of the UGCC, the choice of a vaccine is important not only in terms of its effectiveness and safety, but also because of the technology of its development, as some vaccines are made in a way that raises significant ethical issues.

It is worth noting that, in accordance with the Regulations on the AUCCRO, the chairmanship of the Council of Churches for the next six months passed to His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
