i recently received a letter letter about flu vaccinations in my childs school.

soon after there were texts and letters about the ingredients in the vaccines.

they contain pork gelatine as a stabiliser.

...the very words make most muslims cringe and put down the sweets.


anyway the letter i received were reassuring as it linked to a paper which sited various islamic scholers as well as jewish scholers, that found it permissible.

unfortunately on actually reading the paper..they found all uses of pork gelatin to be permissable.

this does not sit easy with me.


especially as most people who are aware of pork gelatin will know, there are alternatives.


unfortunately this does not seem to be a priority with the manufacturers and it would seem no progress has been made since the release of the paper... 2001.


i know its not a priority for most people but it would seem like the benefits of actually refraining or voicing concern in such matters leads to positive change.

or an unwillingness to accept.


some links for anybody who is interested.
