Question

Is the HPV (Human Papillomavirus Vaccine) Halal or Haram?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

Answer

We have checked with a competent Muslim doctor who has advised that the HPV does not contain any unlawful ingredients and the virus is grown in yeast. The ingredients are: Sodium Chloride, Histidine, Polysorbate 80, Borax and Water for injection. Therefore, based on this, the vaccine is lawful.
