On Thursday, the Vatican moved to explain a decree that seemed to suggest Vatican employees could be fired if they did not get a COVID-19 vaccination — unless the refusal was due to significant health reasons.
The Vatican received criticism on social media for the February 8 order. The decree came from Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, the governor of Vatican City. It reportedly said that “getting a vaccine was ‘the responsible choice’ because of the risk of harming other people,” according to a report from Reuters.
