MEDAN - North Sumatra Governor (Gubsu) Edy Rahmayadi spoke about the halalness of the COVID-19 vaccine. According to him, there is no non-halal vaccine in Indonesia.

"There is no non-halal vaccination, all vaccines are halal because this is medicine. Emergency prevention has no other choice. If this makes the debate permissible," said Governor Edy in Medan, Friday, February 11.

According to Edy Rahmayadi, permissible is not unlawful. However, there is no choice.

"If I could choose it would be wrong. But there is no choice to keep me, all of you, because the virus spreads. By cutting (vaccines) it doesn't spread it," he said.

Therefore, Governor Edy asked the public not to hesitate to use vaccines. For people who have been vaccinated twice, Gubsu Edy asked to immediately administer the boster vaccine.

"There are still 500 thousand (vaccines) now in the warehouse," he said.

In Gubsu Edy's view, people are increasingly unwilling to vaccinate.

"Because people are getting more and more unwilling, the farther away. I hope that my people are not like that, according to the vaccine, the immunity will increase and this and God willing, will be protected from the virus," he said.
