Having the Covid vaccine during Ramadan
Saifur Rahaman, Secretary of Neath Port Talbot Black and Minority Ethnic Community Association, has shared his experience of having his first dose of the Covid vaccine during Ramadan.
Islamic scholars and medical experts have confirmed that having the Covid vaccine does not invalidate the fast.
If you have mild side effects which require painkillers like paracetamol, you may break fast on that day to take medication and then resume fasting the day after.
