The product information pamphlet for AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine states

The vaccine is manufactured using material originally sourced from a human embryo (Human Embryonic Kidney cells: HEK293)

All the deboonking says vaccines don't contain any aborted fetal cells, "only" they are used to culture the virus, the most detailed answer I could find says the baby cells are "filtered out making it unlikely any is in the vaccine".

So my question is how is it cleaned/filtered?

My religious grandmother is seeking excuses to not take the vaccine, even though the church says it is okay.

They extract a biological component, a protein from the cells, which is then used for the Vaccine. The cells are apparently grown for laboratory use from a specific stock - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRC-5 So because they aren't putting whole cells in there, it doesn't count, pretty sure they say "filtered" because it sounds cleaner for responding to that worry. Technically, if I extract a component out of something, I am filtering out the rest.
