Recently, it is reported that discrimination on the basis of vaccination against COVID-19, including offensive statements by officials of various ranks against unvaccinated people, has been of concern recently, writes For-ua.

“Given the great concern of different segments of the population, we ask you not to allow restricting the rights and freedoms of people who, for various reasons, refused to vaccinate,” the UOC stressed.

The Vinnitsa diocese recalled that the Church does not prohibit vaccination and a person decides whether or not to vaccinate, independently and voluntarily. However, such voluntariness is not violated by the Church.
