There are no ethical alternatives to the current Rubella, Hepatitis A and Varicella Vaccines, all of which are produced using cell cultures derived from killed humans. A petition on Change.org has been placed to persuade Merck to revive its older mumps and rubella vaccines so that those with religious objection to abortion could have their kids vaccinated using ethically produced vaccines. THe author of the petition points out that better vaccine compliance could be obtained by addressing legitimate (first amendment protected) religious objections.
