En junio de 1978, La Atalaya situó los sueros usados contra la difteria, el tétanos, la hepatitis, la rabia, la hemofilia y la incompatibilidad Rh en una 'gray area' que debía ser 'resolved by each individual on a personal basis'.

The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”

15 de junio de 1978 · pp.29-31 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“This seems to fall into a “gray area.” Some Christians believe that accepting a small amount of a blood derivative for such a purpose would not be a manifestation of disrespect for God's law.”

Question: 'Are serum injections compatible with Christian belief?' — serums against diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis, rabies, haemophilia and Rh incompatibility; 'this question must be resolved by each individual on a personal basis'. Transfusion 'or the use of a blood component to accomplish a similar purpose' remains in conflict with 'abstain … from blood'.
