Should Christians Take the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Christian support for vaccines has a longstanding history. In recent years, skepticism towards vaccines has grown and infiltrated Christian and non-Christian groups alike. In the early 2000s, celebrities began speaking out against vaccines and the negative effects they believed the vaccines had on their children. The anti-vax movement (as it is commonly referred to) has continued to grow during the Coronavirus pandemic as health leaders have developed a vaccine for COVID-19. Even those who are generally “pro-vaccine” have concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine and its short trial period. Due to these concerns, many say that they will wait to receive the vaccine or will not get it at all.
