HAJJ & UMRAH Vaccine
Adults and Children travelling for the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages are required to have the ACWY vaccination prior to travel. Our Pharmacists can complete your vaccination and Certificate requirements
If you’re coming from within the UK, then you’ll need the vaccine against Meningococcal Meningitis ACWY.
Anyone over the age of 2 making an Umrah or Hajj pilgrimage, or even anyone planning on a work trip to the Hajj area, will need to bring a certificate of vaccination. You’ll have to bring one that’s been issued no longer than 3-5 years ago (depending on which vaccine you received) and no less than 10 days before the flight. If you’re coming from the UK, you won’t even be able to get a visa for your trip unless you’ve got the certificate proving this while you apply.
Vaccination against meningococcal ACWY is also required for domestic pilgrims, residents of the two holy cities Mecca and Medina and any person who may be in contact with pilgrims including personnel in healthcare settings.
This is a private service delivered by a pharmacist and will be able to help guide you with any other vaccinations you may require whilst travelling, to book an appointment you can use our website, call us or simply pop in-store.
