Aisya & vaccination

Hari ini pergi cucuk Aisya for her hepatitis b 3rd dose vaccination. Hepatitis b vaccination is a MUST Vaccination for children. Tapi sebenarnya saya nak kongsikan hukum optional vaccination yang bernama rotavirus.

Rotavirus vaccination perlu diberi pada anak berumur Dari 2 bulan sehingga 6 bulan. After 6 month rotavirus cannot be given anymore. So, what is rotavirus?

Rotavirus vaccination adalah vaccine untuk mencegah bayi Dari diarrhea and dehydration. Setiap bayi Akan Ada risiko untuk terkena jangkitan diarrhea and it might led to dehydration which can caused death. Scary kan? Tapi apa yang tak sedapnya, rotavirus is a NON-HALAL for Muslim as it sources from haiwan Babi. Ini bukan kenyataan saya yer, saya dapat maklumat ni sebenarnya Dari Internet. Actually, Aisya has received the first dose of rotavirus when she's 2months old and it was not covered by my company. Itulah puncanya saya search Internet about rotavirus and the price. Baru saya tahu it is contains pig dna.

So, when the next appointment saya memang dah tekad tak bagi rotavirus, and when I said to Aisya peads that I'm not going to give her the vaccine as its contains pig DNA, then he confirmed my findings. He even explain that there are two types of rotavirus in which both are contains with the pig DNA. He did apologized though! Tak boleh salahkan dia jugak, sebab dia non-Muslim and he thought that small portion of pig DNA is safe for Muslim.

Majlis fatwa Negara dah keluarkan kenyataan about this vaccine actually on 31/8/2008 said that keadaan Negara kita tak darurat sehingga memerlukan penggunaan rotavirus, jadi ianya haram. So, to parents out there, it is your choice whether you want to proceed or not with this vaccine just be aware with it!
