Holy Synod: The Church appreciates the goodness that medicine brings to healthcare, but cannot take responsibility for promoting vaccination because it is the competence of health care workers

One of the issues in the Holy Synod decree concerns the COVID 19 pandemic and vaccination.

As stated in the decree, the Church recognizes that healthcare is one of the most important human rights and therefore supports all steps that are aimed at protecting this right and is not contrary to Christian morality.

According to the decree of the Holy Synod, the Church of Georgia appreciates the goodness that medicine generally contributes to the protection of human health, but can not take responsibility for the promotion of vaccination, because in their estimation, it is the competence and responsibility of health workers.
