Salam mommies.. Right after office hour at 5pm we immediately drive to Bangi for Adellia's appointment with Dr Nazim at Az-Zahra clinic for her pneumococcal vaccine. It has been long due since we 1st decided to give her the vaccine.
She'll turn 6 month this coming Sunday (Jan 5th,2014) and she'll start her school session on Monday after a month break with Aunty Tirah. Hence for me it is better to give Adellia her 1st shot of pneumococcal vaccine before sending her to school. She has already had her rotavirus when she was 2 month old. Dr Nazim advice to give her 2nd shot of rotavirus together with pneumococcal vaccine. We agreed.
When I came home I texted a friend of mine recommending her son to take the same vaccine. She replied: rotavirus is haram as it contains pig virus DNA. Right away I started google-ing. There are so many articles supported the fact that it has pig virus DNA and how much important this vaccine to protect our children from rotavirus. But as a Muslim of course this raise concern. Why both of my baby's doctors didn't notify us first? (Adellia had her 1st & 2nd shot with different doctors, and both are Muslims)
Hence, I've tried to make my own research and it seems like the doctors & 'doctors' has a lot of different opinion. For me this is one of the best opinion which I have read so far. You may visit Dr Zubaidi here.
To conclude, please seek your doctor's advice, raise this DNA issue and see what he/she responses.
