Aborted fetal cells were used to develop the vaccine. I don't have any source handy to share, but a quick search should give you sources on that. It's been verified. Note in your request that, as a Catholic, the use of aborted fetal cells is "against your sincerely held religious beliefs".

It's important to use the term in quotes, because "sincerely held religious beliefs" is the way religious exemptions are discussed in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - which is the law that creates your ability to get an exemption in the first place.

I am a VP of HR - any time we receive a request that includes this verbiage it is definitely going to be approved, because it shows us the employee either really did their research well, or they have a lawyer. I imagine it's the same when a school evaluates a religious accommodation request.

Good luck!
