GC & North American Division on the COVID-19 Vaccines

As of yesterday, the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church just put out an informative video with Dr. David Williams and Dr. Roger Seheult discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and various ways to protect one’s self, and one’s friends, family, and community – to include the use of the new mRNA vaccines. This follows a statement from the General Conference (12/18/20) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in support of the mRNA vaccines (also listed below):

There’s no doubt that a vaccine has been much anticipated ever since COVID-19 was declared to be a pandemic. In this webinar, we will hear from renowned experts, Dr. David Williams and Dr. Roger Seheult, and consider what we know to date about the vaccines, questions and concerns, and implications for certain population groups. We will also discuss what the Church can do to foster hope, awareness, and healing. (Link)
