It is permissible to use stem cells for treatment and vaccination if their source is permissible, such as naturally aborted fetuses or those aborted for a legitimate reason. It is forbidden if the source is impermissible. If cells taken from aborted fetuses are used in a vaccine and their status is unknown, it is apparently permissible to take the vaccine because there is no certainty regarding the impermissibility of the source.
