Summary
The available part of the text explains the definition of vaccines, their types and the materials used to make them, including animal tissue or blood in producing live vaccines. It also presents reports of vaccine harm and objections from some doctors, along with the history of immunisation in Malaysia since 1868. The ruling itself is not stated in the portion provided, as the text is cut off.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Vaksin adalah bahan antigenik yang digunakan untuk menghasilkan kekebalan aktif terhadap suatu penyakit sehingga dapat mencegah atau mengurangi pengaruh infeksi oleh organisme alami atau "liar".
