UMRAH/ HAJ REQUIREMENTS

• Meningococcal Meningitis
• Adults and children aged over 2 years arriving for Umrah, Hajj or for seasonal work in Hajj zones (6), are required to submit a valid vaccination certificate with a quadrivalent (ACYW) meningococcal vaccine administered not less than 10 days prior to the planned arrival to Saudi Arabia.
  Vaccination with one of the following vaccines is acceptable:
  – Quadrivalent (ACYW) polysaccharide vaccine within the last 3 years.
  – Quadrivalent (ACYW) conjugate vaccine within the last 5 years.
• Seasonal Influenza
• The Saudi Ministry of Health recommends that international pilgrims be vaccinated against seasonal influenza before arrival into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly those at increased risk of severe influenza diseases, including pregnant women, children under 5 years, the elderly, and individuals with underlying health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, asthma, and chronic heart or lung diseases. In Saudi Arabia, seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended for internal pilgrims, particularly those at risk described above, and all health-care workers in the Hajj premises.
