## Resource

Florida’s Attorney General is pushing Catholic schools to grant religious vaccine exemptions, warning they could lose state scholarship eligibility if they don’t comply. The move follows a controversial interpretation from the National Catholic Bioethics Center suggesting the Church doesn’t deem vaccines made from aborted fetal tissue intrinsically wrong. While some Catholic education leaders hail it as a win for families, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly backs mandatory vaccinations, calling them essential for public health and opposing non-medical exemptions. Meanwhile, Florida’s Catholic Conference says it’s reviewing the letter, affirming schools are operating within both law and Church doctrine — even as science clarifies that modern vaccines use purified cell lines with no fetal tissue remaining.
