List of Vaccines Produced in Animal Cells and Contain DNA or Cell Proteins from Those Cells


If you are a healthcare worker and you request a religious exemption for the Novavax vaccine, be aware that you may be asked if you have taken the flu or other vaccines that are produced in animal cells. Below is a list to the best of my knowledge of other vaccines that were produced in animal cells which to be consistent, you must reject.

Note:Any oral vaccine is not a problem since it goes through the digestive system
