Panel Discussion

Religious Faith and the COVID-19 Vaccine

We explore how the faiths of two religious or spiritual philosophies intersect with the medical communities’ recommendations to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

What role should or can religious institutions play in promoting the use of vaccines?

Is the Rastafarian community being selfish for not accepting the vaccine?

Reverend Peter Espeut Roman Catholic Deacon and Dean of Studies at St. Michael’s Theological College and Heru Ishakamusa Menelik Rastafarian, Chairman of the Marcus Garvey Party and President of the Rastafari Innity Council, joined the CVM Live Panel Discussion.
