At least once in a life, Muslims are expected to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca during Hajj. Hajj happens annually in Saudi Arabia and draws millions of Muslim devotees from all over the world. Due to the masses of people in attendance, attendees run the risk of being exposed to highly-contagious and serious diseases from around the world.
The best way to protect yourself is by getting all your Hajj vaccinations at Pearl Chemist Group Travel Clinic where you can get up-to-date vaccination requirements for Hajj. Hajj vaccination services in London are available at our PCG Travel Clinics inBanstead, Earlsfield, Merton, Morden, Streatham, and Tolworth.
Certain vaccines (like Meningitis and COVID-19) are mandatory to be able to participate in the Hajj rituals and even Umrah, so don’t go unprepared. Keep reading to learn how you can become eligible for Hajj in 2023.
MANDATORY VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS TO ATTEND HAJJ
In accordance with Saudia Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj, pilgrims are required to get their mandatory vaccinations at least 10 days prior to attending Hajj to be eligible to perform the Hajj rituals. All required vaccinations must be completed (with proof provided) before a Hajj permit can be issued.
Recommended Vaccinations
The Saudi Ministry of Health recommends that international pilgrims have up-to-date routine vaccinations such as hepatitis, MMR, influenza, yellow fever, etc. If they are not current, you can easily get a booster.
Mandatory Vaccination
Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY) Vaccine
Unless you have been vaccinated for Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY) within the last 3 years, you’ll need to get the ACWY vaccine at least 10 days prior to your arrival date to Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, if you live in the UK, you will be required to produce a Certificate of Vaccination for Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY). If you don’t have it, you will not be able to get a travel visa to attend Hajj.
The mandatory Meningococcal Meningitis (ACWY) Vaccine and certificate are available to Muslim pilgrims travelling for Hajj at Pearl Chemist Group. Our Hajj vaccination services in Merton are also available in Banstead, Earlsfield, Morden, Streatham, and Tolworth.
