Although fetal-derived cells are used to grow viruses for some COVID-19 vaccines, the cells are not part of the vaccines
Published: 2022"Some vaccines require the production of viruses, which can only replicate with the help of living host cells. While certain viruses for vaccines, such as some COVID-19 vaccine candidates, are produced using human fetal-derived cells, these cells and most of their genetic material are removed during the purification process and are therefore not present in the vaccine. Any residual DNA is also broken down into fragments during the purification process, which are harmless and do not affect our DNA." - Although fetal-derived cells are used to grow viruses for some COVID-19 vaccines, the cells are not part of the vaccines
