Halakhic Ruling Regarding the Coronavirus Vaccine
Question
Should I follow the ruling of the leading rabbis of the generation and get vaccinated against coronavirus? Do they have authority in this matter?
Answer
Even if there were today a universally accepted leading rabbi of the generation, he would have almost no authority in nearly anything, and not in this either. But in my opinion it is very worthwhile to get vaccinated.
