HUKUM MENGGUNAKAN VAKSIN MENINGITIS MENVEO
What is the ruling on using the Menveo meningitis vaccine?
Short answer
The use of the Menveo vaccine is in principle permissible on the basis of necessity, as with the Mencevax vaccine, because no meningococcal meningitis vaccine is yet produced as fully halal and pure from start to finish.

Summary
The use of the Menveo vaccine is in principle permissible on the basis of necessity, as with the Mencevax vaccine, because no meningococcal meningitis vaccine is yet produced as fully halal and pure from start to finish. Priority is nevertheless given to Mencevax, which has long been in use and is proven effective and safe, while Menveo is new on the market and its long-term effects are still being monitored. A halal certificate is not appropriate for Menveo since its permissibility rests on necessity and its production does not meet Malaysian halal certification standards.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa pada dasarnya hukum penggunaan vaksin menveo adalah harus atas dasar darurat sama seperti vaksin Mencevax
