Halal vaccines to be ready in three years
The
world’s first halal vaccines, currently being developed by Saudi
Arabia and Malaysia, are expected to be ready in three years, reported
the Malaysian news agency Bernama.
An
unnamed Saudi corporation is reportedly ready to invest $100 million
(72.1 million euros) in collaboration with the Malaysian Industry
Development Corporation (HDC) to develop vaccines meant for treating
meningitis, hepatitis and meningococcal. Existing vaccines for the three
diseases are currently pork-based; pork is forbidden in Islam. The need
for meningitis vaccines in particularly is therefore a pressing one,
since it is required for those who head to Mecca for the annual Muslim
pilgrimage (Hajj).
