LDS Church won’t help California members avoid vaccine mandates

Utah-based faith says Latter-day Saints who seek a “religious exemption” from the shots are actually going against what the church teaches.

(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) Church President Russell M. Nelson receives the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021, in Salt Lake City. The church is forbidding its leaders in California from signing "religious exemptions" to help members get around vaccine mandates.
